About the New Year, Same Me
A winter warmer for quiet mornings. Fresh hot coffee, Garrison Brothers HoneyDew, Licor 43 and crème de cacao are stirred right in the mug, then topped with a cloud of hand-whipped banana cream, a banana coin and grated chocolate. Think banana bread and coffee, with bourbon.
Questions, answered
How do I make banana whipped cream?
Mash a quarter of a ripe banana until smooth, add ½ cup of cold heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of sugar, and whisk by hand until it thickens but still pours. That tops about four drinks.
Can I use Small Batch instead of HoneyDew?
Yes. Small Batch makes it bolder. HoneyDew's honey is softer with the banana and chocolate.
Can I make it for a crowd?
Yes. Brew a full pot and keep it hot. Pour 8 oz of coffee per mug, then add 2 oz of bourbon and ½ oz each of Licor 43 and crème de cacao to each. Whip the banana cream just before serving.
