Ingredients

  • 2 oz Woodinville bourbon
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 1 oz crème de banane
  • 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 10 sprigs mint
  • Bourbon-flambéed banana slices for garnish
  • Mint sprig for garnish
  • Powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the bourbon, coconut cream, crème de banane, lime juice, and mint sprigs with 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the blended mixture into a copper julep mug.
  3. Garnish with bourbon-flambéed banana slices, a mint sprig, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
