Other than by challenging their assumptions, that is.

Ingredients:

- 1 oz. Frangelico Hazel Nut Liqueur (because they’re Right Wing Nuts, after all)

- 1 whole ripe banana (because they’re bananas)

- 3/4 of a small (8 oz.?) can of Cream of Coconut (because they’re lazy coconuts who want other people to do the work and the dying for them)

- 4 oz. of Gold or Dark Rum. Do yourself a favor and go for some good stuff. Bacardi is the Cuervo of Rums. Yecch. I can’t recommend Flor de Cana, a slow-aged rum from Nicaragua, strongly enough. (because it takes strong drink to be able to deal with them)

- Lots of Ice. (because they really need to chill)

Directions:

Fill blender almost to the top with ice. Add all other ingredients. Blend.

Adjust for nuttiness with Frangelico and for potency with rum. The quantities of alcohol above are (appropriately) conservative. I think I used about 1.5 times as much when I made some last night.

I wasn’t really thinking about garnish, but a couple of things come to mind: two chestnuts on a toothpick and/or a cocktail umbrella covered in tin foil.

Kid Tested, Mutha Approved

Because we believe in Science over here on the left, I conducted a taste test with 8 of my friends last night.

Location: the front stoop of my friend’s Victorian. Weather Conditions: optimal. Music: Slayer.

I thought I would just make one batch as kind of a joke drink. But I soon received urgent demands for seconds from everyone.

We also had a control group of two people who had no idea what Frothy Wingnut means. The consensus: yum.

For your added chillin’ pleasure, I recommend this week’s Solid Steel Mix by Bonobo. Relaxed but festive. A good accompaniment.
