Adult Bourbon Vanilla Milkshake

Adults only: bourbon replaces most of the milk in this vanilla shake and brings oak, caramel and heat. Three tablespoons across two servings is enough to taste without collapsing the texture. Keep it away from children even though it looks like an ordinary shake.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups firm vanilla ice cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Chill two tall glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes and set them apart from any nonalcoholic servings.
  2. Add the milk, bourbon, maple syrup, salt and ice cream to a blender.
  3. Pulse 5 times until the ice cream begins to move.
  4. Blend for 15 seconds until smooth and thick, avoiding extra blending that would loosen the alcohol-rich base.
  5. Pour into the cold glasses, label the servings for adults and serve immediately.
