Austin Morning Ritual

Inspiration

Jägermeister Austin Morning Ritual cocktail

Hey Shaun, what inspired you to create this work of art?

A perfect morning for me starts with a great cup of coffee and a delicious slice of banana bread, something I was determined to find upon moving to Austin in 2012. With its wonderful bars, restaurants, and coffee shops, I imagined locating superior banana bread wouldn't be too difficult. Boy, was I right. It seemed like every new slice of banana bread I tried would top the list! It was a sign; I'd found my new home.

This cocktail draws major inspiration from those early days in the City of the Violet Crown, along with some serious "we do tropical drinks year-round" vibes. A favorite among Austinites, tequila (specifically Teremana Reposado) gives this drink a necessary lift and plays beautifully with the surrounding flavors. Grounded by Jagermeister Cold Brew and enriched with decadent coconut cream, it's sort of a tropical winter cocktail version of that great cup of coffee and delicious slice of banana bread, my AM ritual. It may seem a little strange at first, but drinks like this are sure to "Keep Austin Weird!"

Shaun's Tips & Tricks

This tasty little coconut cream is super easy to make. First, you’ll need to make some cinnamon syrup (simple syrup simmered with cinnamon sticks). Then blend that with a ripe banana, coconut milk, and turbinado or demerara sugar. Boom!

Spiced Banana Coconut Cream
- 1 ripe banana (peeled)
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar
- ¼ cup cinnamon syrup*

Method: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Scale-up as needed.

Cinnamon Syrup
- 8 cinnamon sticks (broken/crushed)
- 1 liter H20
- 1 liter sugar

Method:
Bring water and sugar to a boil, add cinnamon, reduce heat, stir, and simmer for 15min. Strain. Cool.
