Brown Lady Drink- where's the best?

Our third trip is coming in less than a week and I've never heard of a brown lady before I saw it while surfing this board last week. The drink sounds delicious. Now I can't locate that thread.
Where's the best place to try our first one?

so, maybe Mandm should go on a Brown lady taste testing SPREE.

and i certainly do not mean go on a bar crawl and taste all the brown ladys on island during a single afternoon/evening.......................or do i ??!!! ;-)

that would be one major ice/brain freeze headache wouldn't it???

wonder just how many calories are in the brown lady?

aruba grand outside bar (rip) used to have fabulous brown ladys.

I have been told that I make the best Brown Ladies during weeks 31 & 32, they might be saying that because they are free, free is always better.

Angelone,
How do you make your Brown Ladies?
I made up a recipe this fall and it tasted pretty good:
Kahlua 3 oz, Baileys 3 oz, Coconut Rum 3 oz, and ice , put in blender, pour and drink. I know I was missing Ponche Cream. Not sure what else I should be using.

Oops I forgot to say that after 4 of these and you try to do a summersault in the pool you might be dizzy or feel really drunk... That is what happened to one of my friends in the Outerbanks this fall.

Thanks,
Jill

I found a recipe online at allrecipes.com-
2 tbs vodka
2 tbs irish creme liqueur
2 tbs rum creme liqueur
2 tbs coffee flavor liqueur
1/4 cup coconut creme
1-1/2 cups ice cubes
blend for 1 minute -makes 2 drinks

While I am unsure of the correct calorie count of a Brown Lady... I can say with certainty I gained 10.8 pounds our last trip 18 Sept - 27 Sept. I drink 2 every morning at Matthews after my early morning swim ( 1st to be served thank you!) and with numerous Happy Hours through out the day... I loose count by 3:00 PM.

The Mill Resort Pool Bar offers nice ones also. And if you happen to stop by Smokey Joe's request to be seated in Manuelo's area and tell him Ginny & Pete sent you for a Brown Lady. He is a waiter there but was one of my first Bartenders years past at Matthews and will fix you right up!

Darn... after 28 days being back home I thought I was over this craving ... now I am thirsty again and must wait 11 months....
