Banana Almond Shake Mocktail Recipe

Banana Almond Shake

Frozen banana blended with almond milk and cinnamon — thick enough to need a spoon at first.

Ingredients

How to Make It

  1. Freeze the banana in slices beforehand.
  2. Blend everything until completely smooth.
  3. Pour into a tall glass.
  4. Dust with ground cinnamon.

Garnish

Ground cinnamon

What it tastes like

The sweetness is pronounced and the texture is creamy.

The technique

Blended. Everything goes into the blender with crushed ice. Cubes strain the motor and leave shards behind; crushed or pellet ice gives a smoother drink. Rule of thumb: about a cup of crushed ice per serving. More ice than that and you are drinking a slush with no flavour left.

Glass and ice

A tall, narrow highball. The narrowness does real work — less surface area means the carbonation lasts longer and the ice melts more slowly.

Ingredient notes and substitutes

Cinnamon syrup
Made by steeping cinnamon sticks in simple syrup. Ground cinnamon clouds the drink and settles at the bottom, which is why it is sticks, steeped and strained.

The Story

Freezing the banana instead of adding ice is the whole trick: it thickens without watering anything down.
