It’s difficult not to love this drink. Not only is it visually stunning, but it’s creamy and crunchy and green. And it contains our Black Reserve Bourbon, so it’s perfect. While I’m not advocating you swap this out with your early morning, post-workout green healthy beverage, … I’ve had worse ideas. Pretend you’re actually in the Florida Keys, which is from where the Key Lime Pie originated, and you might be able to talk yourself into sloshing one of these fantastic drinks down, post early-a.m. workout. While this is not necessarily advised, it is not necessarily frowned upon either. Who am I. That morning work out might be grueling. Green is green is green at 5 a.m.. And it does contain a healthy egg white.

2 oz Black Reserve Bourbon
1 1/2 oz Lime Juice
1 Egg White (I used pasteurized egg)
