Hummer (cocktail)

The Hummer is an ice cream cocktail originally created in Detroit, Michigan, at Bayview Yacht Club by Jerome Adams.

It is made with light rum and Kahlua and vanilla ice cream.

According to The Detroit Free Press Jerome Adams created the drink at the Bayview Yacht Club in 1967, but in a 1982 article The Free Press said it was invented at the London Chop House by Farouk Elhaje.

The consistency is so thick, made with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, that a straw would stand up straight in the glass.

[5] The Hummer has not seen as much of a resurgence as other classic cocktails like the Last Word because ice cream is considered a difficult ingredient to work with.
