Friday Fright Nightcaps – Mummy’s Revival

Happy Friday! It’s the return of Friday Fright Nightcaps! Every Friday in October, I post a drink recipe in honor of one of my favorite Universal classic monsters movies. This week is a little concoction called Mummy’s Revival.

I’ll be honest, this recipe is a little sweet. I’m not sure if it’s the coffee or the sugar that can wake the dead, but this is a nice drink to come home to.

You can stream Universal’s The Mummy, 1932, for free on Prime Video, with a Prime subscription.

Friday Fright Nightcaps: A Mummy’s Dream

Why did the mummy go to the bar? Because he needed to unwind!

Do you ever wonder what mummies dream about during their long dust naps? As it turns out, the answer is… bananas! At least, that’s what’s in A Mummy’s Dream.

A Mummy’s Dream

INGREDIENTS:

2 Frozen Bananas (Fresh bananas can also be used)

1 cup whipped cream

1 cup ice
1 1/2 oz Kahlúa coffee liqueur 
1 oz vodka
1 oz spiced rum
1/2 oz cream of coconut
2-3 oz pineapple juice

Throw everything in the blender for 2 minutes, and voila, A Mummy’s Dream.

Garnish: Splash of chocolate or caramel syrup around the glass or on top
Garnish: Maraschino cherry

A Mummy’s Dream is a sweeter, frozen version of a Dirty Monkey (or Dirty Banana). It comes out thick like a shake. This is highly modifiable recipe, according to how much sweetness or banana flavoring you prefer.
