Ingredients
-
2.5 ounces Dareringer wheated bourbon
-
10 ounces very hot water
-
1/2 tsp Ashwagandha
-
1 tsp coconut butter (or sub store-bought)
-
1/4 tsp He shou wu (optional)
- Sweetener of choice (we love stevia, maple syrup, raw honey to taste)
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
-
1 tsp Maca root powder
-
1 tsp Reishi mushroom powder
-
1 Tbsp Tocos (rice bran solubles)
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Directions
In a high-speed blender (or small blender), add hot water (or dairy-free milk), cacao powder, ashwagandha, reishi, maca, coconut butter, tocos, and stevia (to taste - optional).
Add he shou wu, cinnamon, and collagen (if desired).
Blend on high until creamy and frothy — about 1 minute.
Add to a rocks glass or mug, filling ¾ of the way full. Add Dareringer wheated bourbon. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
You can add unrefined coconut oil for a better "mouthfeel" and richer experience. Also consider adding a slice of grassfed butter or increase the cocoa powder. Also, if you want a bolder drink, consider adding 3 ounces of Dareringer instead of 2.5 ounces.
