Smoothie Does It sits in that sunny overlap between a tropical rum cocktail and a fruit-forward blended-style drink, built to taste like a beach holiday in a glass. With white rum as the base, it leans into the easygoing, modern “smoothie cocktail” vibe rather than a storied classic—more about ripe fruit and refreshment than cocktail lore. You’ll find it reads like a playful twist on the rum-and-juice family, with banana taking centre stage.
On the palate, white rum keeps things clean while crème de banane doubles down on sweet, candy-like banana notes that echo the fresh banana’s creamy weight. Pineapple juice brings bright, juicy sweetness and a tropical tang, and the lime juice cuts straight through it all, sharpening the fruit and stopping the drink from feeling heavy. Expect a thick, fruity balance where banana richness meets pineapple lift and lime snap.
Serve it when you want something fun, crowd-pleasing, and unmistakably tropical—ideal for warm afternoons, poolside hangs, or as a dessert-leaning party drink. If you love banana-forward flavours and prefer your rum cocktails on the lush, juicy side, this one lands perfectly in your wheelhouse.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
White rum and crème de banane lead with soft banana sweetness, while fresh banana and pineapple juice pile on creamy tropical fruit and lime juice snaps in bright acidity to keep it from feeling heavy. It works because the lime’s tart edge and rum’s clean bite rein in the lush banana-pineapple richness, perfect for smoothie lovers and anyone craving an easygoing, beachy highball.
