Bananas are a post-gym favorite, so why not sweeten the deal with a little whiskey shooter? The quirky combo of chocolate protein powder, almond butter, and home-infused whiskey will set the pace for a great night.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Banana Infused Irish Whiskey (We chose Jameson Irish Whiskey)
- 1 Whole Banana
- 1 Tbsp Almond Butter
- 1 Tbsp Chocolate Protein Powder
Tools
-
Jigger
-
Knife
-
Bar spoon
How to Mix
- Slice a fresh banana into 2-3 pieces making sure that they can stand straight when placed on a flat surface (you don't want your whiskey spilling out).
- Using a melon baller gently carve out the interior of the banana leaving the entire peel and about ¼" of banana at the bottom to retain the liquid.
- Before you fill, swipe one side of the banana with almond butter and roll in chocolate protein powder.
- Fill banana shooter with whiskey and serve.
