So, Saturday is my birthday and I want to make Alcoholic milkshakes, this is all also part of my quest in finding an alcoholic drink that I can drink…

The taste of alcohol annoys me. lol

The problem is I don’t know what alcohol goes inside of it? Or even where to start. I have some vanilla ice cream but that’s about it.

Any of you know any good recipes? less

My favourite is just plain old regular chocolate (probably b/c we seem to have a lot of chocolate liqueur around the house... && b/c I can't stand the taste of many different kinds of hard alcohol) with ice cream and chocolate sauce. (Sometimes with banana or peanut butter if I'm feeling special or in the mood )

Usually we use Kahlua -- since I can't stand flavoured vodka.

My mom often puts Bailey's in (making a chocolate/coffee/Irish cream sorta milkshake).

Unfortunately I don't have actual measured out recipes (probably because we've gotten to the point of making them so often we can just eyeball it). I have heard many friends rave about strawberry spiked milkshakes (because you can use real strawberries to also help mask the flavour of alcohol). Hope this gives at least a starting point... maybe?

Idea: strawberry chocolate spiked milkshake... I think I'm going to have to try that this weekend. less

4 tbsps baileys irish cream
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cups milk (whole/low fat)
1 cube ice
2 cherries (red)
1 leaf mint
chocolate syrup

Crush ice cubes in blender (I use the PULSE button).
Add Bailey?s Irish cream, ice-cream and milk, process until foamy and well-combined.
Pour into 2 tall glasses, top with a cherry and some mint leaves.
If you like, drizzle chocolate sauce on top and serve immediately. less
