Not a fan my wife and i tried this and didn't care for it. The combintion between the bananna and citrus wasn't very good. Also the drink needed extra sugar to be added.

Instead of using rum, I used coconut extract. Turned out great!

I made this without the alcohol and it was delicious! I wouldn't change a thing! I never knew cream of coconut tasted so good, and you really can't even taste a lot of banana. Then you add a little bit of lime, and you've got yourself one incredible colada!
