Made this for DH (and myself lol!), he went wild over it!! I omited the banana liqueur, and used dark rum instead of light! what a fantastic drink, I could sit all day and just drink this, it is so good! Thanks Fay for a great drink recipe, this is a keeper for me...Kitten:)

A delicious treat on a hot summer day. I used 1/2 of the banana liqueur called for, and added 1/4 c of coconut rum. Rave reviews from my friends!

No one would ever know that it has buttermilk in it. I made this without the "spirits". It has a very nice flavor and a real treat on a hot summer day. Thanks Fay!
