"Tomorrow is national brandied fruit day... I don't know what to do with that."

I have never had brandied fruit. I have very little desire to eat fruit marinated in brandy and sugar. Don't get me wrong; I'm not opposed to trying. But I definitely don't have $ to fork over for a brandy experiment. So I thought to myself, what do I already have in terms of alcohol and fruit? Here's what I did:

I threw banana, kahlua, milk, vanilla, and ice into the blender. Sounds promising, yes? It wasn't very good. So I added...

Mocha powder!
It wasn't very good. so I added...

Some sweeter soy milk! And a little hazelnut syrup!
It wasn't very good.

Okay, I admit it. The hazelnut idea was a little weird. Now I'm drinking it... and it's just not very good! May tomorrow be a tastier (and more correct) holiday!
