Fabulous for being ready so quickly! I altered the recipe slightly by using half brown and half white sugar, 3 bananas instead of two, and added a cinnamon stick. The result is amazing, but best enjoyed cold over crushed ice.

Great recipe. We added 3 tablespoons of cinnamon and it was simply amazing! Made "valentines" with it by mixing equal parts liqueur,vodka,and cranberry juice! you wont forget how great it is!
