Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Broiled Banana: Position an oven rack 3 inches from the broiler and preheat. Slice the banana into 3/4-inch pieces and arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Broil the Banana: Broil the banana slices until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning! (Cook time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Blend the Cocktail: In a blender, combine the broiled banana, blackberries, pineapple juice, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and rum. Begin blending, adding ice cubes one at a time through the lid opening, until the mixture is perfectly smooth. (Blend time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Assemble and Serve: Divide the blended mixture evenly between two hurricane glasses or other stemmed 12-ounce glasses. Top each glass with chilled club soda and gently stir to combine. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Garnish: Garnish each glass with a pineapple wedge and a cocktail pick threaded with fresh blackberries for an elegant finishing touch. (Garnish time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a dark or aged Jamaican rum.
Adjust the amount of club soda to your preference – use more for a lighter cocktail, less for a stronger flavor.
If you don't have a broiler, you can pan-fry the banana slices in a little butter until golden brown.
Make sure all of your ingredients are well-chilled before blending for the best possible result.
