TAHITIAN FREEZER BURN

MAKES

2 DRINKS

Although this drink works with fresh papaya, it actually tastes better with
canned fruit. Besides, canned papaya is easier to find and is usually less
expensive. Remember to drain canned papaya before using the fruit.
3 cups ice
1 cup chopped papaya (fresh or drained canned)
cup papaya nectar
cup lemonade
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce crme de banane
1 ounce Grand Marnier
1 ounce vanilla liqueur (such as Licor 43)
1 teaspoon white crme de menthe
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Cover and pulse on and off until
the mixture starts to swirl evenly. Blend on high for 20 seconds, or until
the drink is completely smooth.
