Wow! I was looking for a recipe because I myself grew up in Duluth and used to frequent Bixby’s for this. What a find to stumble on a Duluthian with the recipe. Love the Gin btw.. a staple in my house in the summer!

THIS RECUPE IS YUMMY!!!!
I had tried a drink called the Drunk Monkey on an Island in Nicaragua and have been trying to make a homemade version of it ever since, but it never worked. This is basically exactly what I was trying to make, minus the shot of alcohol. To make a drink Monkey, simply add some Kalhua or Baileys or your favourite type of alcohol! 😊

So funny! The Jumpin Monkey also popped into my head this morning and I made the first one I've had in years. After making an instagram post, I decided to do a google search for Jumpin Monkey and your recipe popped up...with nearly the same caption I had on my post haha. Glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed these :)

He's left for school already this morning, but I am making this for my smoothie - blended-drink loving teen on Monday.

Used to work at Bixby's myself, and just saw this recipe now that I live on the East Coast! This is much more nutritious than the original Jumpin' Monkey, trust me. Looks great! Love to see some Duluth-inspired culinary delights.

Do you have any idea how many calories is in this? Trying to watch calorie intake, it looks great.

Awesome stuff. Just made with almond milk and 4 oz of Trader Joe's coffee concentrate. I added cinnamon this time, but might have to add some peanut butter next time.

So delicious! I've used both coconut and almond milk as a substitute for the milk and yogurt.

I have been waiting to try this and finally came around to it today. It's as tasty as I imagined and hits the spot!

Made this for breakfast...didn't fully read the recipe yesterday so made a couple changes...I used a caramel flavored coffee, used a full cup of vanilla yogurt, no milk, forgot to freeze my bananas, and added a spoon full of peanut butter at the end. It came out really well though!

Glad you liked it! PB is always a tasty addition if there's banana involved.

Can't wait to try this, neighbor! I may use almond milk instead of real, but definitely real greek yogurt. Thanks!

I think I would make this with the great refrigerator iced coffee recipe from yummy's blog. Then follow recipe but.....with a touch of cinnamon. For me,have to have cinnamon in my coffee.

We had something like this at a coffee shop we would frequent as moody teenagers. I can't recall how we got across town at 14, but that drink was the best. Kept our moody selves up all night! Thanks for reminder and the recipe~
