Cook with us #5 - Cocktail Challenge - Tropical Boozy Nice Cream Cocktail
A huge thank you to the sponsors and the entire team of @cookwithus for the awesome challenges and encouragement in the Cook with us contest, I've really enjoyed cooking, baking and now mixing cocktails; the latter been a real challenge as it's not something I normally do!
The bonus is not only the chance of winning a prize, but also meeting new foodie friends in this growing community!
I must confess that my cocktail actually inspired me to make a weird concoction for the sandwich contest I've been entering for a while now :)

But without further ado, these are the ingredients required:

Looks like a delicious combination for a breakfast smoothie, add the cheeky brandy for brunch! Must try this over the weekend, am a sucker for passionfruit!
This tasted very good indeed, thanks for stopping by @whattheduck :)
Sounds delicious especially with the passionfruit adding a touch of tartness to the drink.
So right @loveself, the passion fruit did just that!
Hi @lizelle, nice drink! Mangoes and bananas are available in our shops now and I have some guavadillas growing in my yard, although the monkeys usually get them first. Will try this one too, as it's still so hot and humid here most days. Have a great week, I'm back to school on Tuesday.
Nice seeing you again @leighleigh, the holidays always goes so fast hey!
I'm hooked on nice cream these days, even nice just with bananas!
Enjoy your week too :)
My brother makes nice cream using bananas, and I made a chocolate mousse using avos! But I'm sure you know all these delights, being such a food boff! Just by the way, I have found another steemian who lives right near me in Glenmore, one of your favourite spots. She is @hope777, and has a weekly radio spot on the MSP (minnow support project). Amazing!
Wow that's great, I've seen @hope777 around, we must definitely arrange a get together sometime! I'm really not a food boff just enjoy cooking and baking, have never made a choc mousse with avo, you should show us how to do it;)
I do have some avos a friend brought over.
Will check out MSP, thanks :)
My favourite fruits - and I absolutely love smoothies - well done on this one @lizelle - enjoying your recipes
Thanks @pandamama, I'm hooked on fruit smoothies, this blend was really delicious but then I just love anything with passion fruit :)
I love the way the passion fruit floats in this drink. Really beautiful drink and I'm sure it tastes so good too! Good luck this week @lizelle!
Thanks @cookwithus, it was divine, I just looove passion fruit as well as mangoes :)
Friend that divine, perfect for hot days, you're very good in the kitchen and you can create anything
Thank Jenni:)
Thanks for your entry @lizelle! Your tropical drink sounds so good! The mix of mango, banana and passion fruit will make a really nice balance in taste. This drink would be perfect for cooling off from the tropical heat. Good luck this week!
Thank you @chefsteve, this was real delicious, you're so right, it was lovely and cooling:)
Your cocktail looks refreshing and delicious! I know I would enjoy the flavors of the tropical fruits you picked as well as the thickness and creaminess the drink offers. Lovely entry!!!
Thanks so much and good luck!
Thank you @offoodandart, it really was delicious, enjoying the contest plus the added bonus of connecting with fellow foodies!
I know, enjoying our little community too. Fun!
