Drink Spotlight: Myra’s Mango Bananza
Today, I will be highlighting my very favorite Caribbean drink, found only in Anguilla. Myra’s Mango Bananza is a specialty frozen drink made by Da Vida’s very own bartender Myra Richard. I was first introduced to Myra in Anguilla about 5 years ago on Shoal Bay beach, tried the drink and the rest is history. It tastes like mango, banana, and maybe a little egg nog….awesome. Here is a sampling of Myra’s special ingredients, made only as she can:
Dark Rum, Bailey’s, Banana, Mango Puree, Cream of Coconut, a hint of Nutmeg. If you even decide to visit Anguilla, please be sure to visit Da Vida’s restaurant, and try Myra’s Mango Bananza….Cheers.
