Tips for Perfect Coffee Whiskey Milkshake!
- Coffee Beans: Use freshly ground coffee beans for a more robust flavor, or opt for instant coffee if you prefer a quicker option.
- Whiskey Choice: Choose a smooth whiskey that complements the coffee flavor. Bourbon or Irish whiskey works particularly well for this dessert drink.
- Coffee Ice Cream: The quality of the ice cream matters! A rich, creamy coffee ice cream will add a nice texture and depth to the milkshake.
- Blending Tip: Make sure to blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Whipped Cream: For an extra indulgent touch, use freshly whipped cream instead of store-bought for a light, fluffy texture.
- Garnish: A maraschino cherry adds a pop of color, but you can also garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, grated chocolate, or even crushed coffee beans for an extra special touch.
- Chilled Glass: For an even cooler treat, chill your glass in the freezer before serving for an added refreshing touch.
- Non-Alcoholic Option: If you’d like to make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the whiskey and use a bit of coffee syrup for the flavor.
Enjoy this creamy, caffeinated, and boozy milkshake as a fun, indulgent treat!
