Shake It, Don't Break It: The Dessert That Goes Down Like A Six Pack



Heya, Man Globbers, Rhyan here. You know I love weekend hooch, and I'm always down for a full-fat, all-dairy pint of ice cream. But I've yet to take a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman and a quart of Rocky Road over to the old blender and start experimenting like I'm bartender at the science fair. 

So as we all get ready for what's likely to be a Memorial Day weekend in the 90's, I thought I'd track down some adult beverage recipes that call for a nice refreshing dose of dairy. You've probably never heard of these before because Isaac the Bartender from 'The Love Boat' was most likely lactose intolerant. Enjoy!

PURPLE VELVET MILKSHAKE


1 cup black raspberry ice cream
12 cup vanilla ice cream
2 ounces bourbon
1 ounce Chambord liqueur
Fresh blackberries
Fresh mint leaves

In a blender, combine both ice creams, the bourbon and Chambord, then blend until smooth. Divide between 2 glasses, then garnish each with fresh blackberries and mint leaves.

TOASTED MALT MILKSHAKE

14 cup Ovaltine Classic Malt
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 ounce amaretto liqueur
1 ounce Kahlua liqueur
1 ounce Frangelico liqueur
Finely chopped toasted almonds, to garnish

In a blender, combine the malted milk powder, vanilla ice cream, amaretto, Kahlua and Frangelico. Blend until smooth. Slightly moisten the rims of 2 glasses, then overturn them and dip the rims in the toasted almonds. Pour the milkshake into the center of the glasses without disturbing the rims.
