Caribbean Milk Shake Recipes

"Batido." This pretty little word is well known all over Latin America and to many in South Florida as well. A sweet and frothy fruit milkshake, it's as varied as the currently available fruits in season. Guanabana, mamey, atemoya, coconut, cherimoya, banana, tamarind and many others-all contributing their gorgeous colors and enticing fragrances! Put the pulp of any tropical fruit or fruits in an electric blender with a little ice, a splash of milk and hit the blend button. Moments later, in a frosty glass, a delicious, healthy, delectable fruit smoothy is waiting for you. The buttermilk is my own addition. If you like the tangyness of sour cream ice cream or crème fraîche you will like this as well. If not, you can omit the buttermilk and go the standard batido route. It's all good.

Every island in the Caribbean has its own "special" drink, and here in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, it is the "Bushwacker." Every bartender on island knows how to make them, and there are some variations, but this is the standard recipe. Tastes just like a chocolate milkshake...but be careful! It ain't no milkshake! Ever heard of a "virgin" drink? A "virgin" Bushwacker is a glass of ICE!! Haha! Multiply ingredients by the number of drinks you want. This recipe will make one drink.

Brandy milk punch became popular in the American colonies, when it was considered a cure for the common cold. Though its medicinal benefits are still up for debate, the drink became popular at Brennan's as a hangover cure, and now it's a staple on many New Orleans brunch menus. This version, made with gold rum, is a tropical twist on the original. -Nora Horvath for Food Network Magazine

I got a cheap recipe cd for my computer and this recipe was on it. It looks easy and should be great for those that are lactose intolerant because it will be a creamy shake, but contains no milk!
