Boozy Strawberry-Orange Milkshake

Hands-on Time:  5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Serves 4

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 1½ c strawberries
  • ¼ c milk
  • ¼ c Cointreau (orange liqueur)

In a blender, puree ice cream, strawberries, and orange liqueur until smooth.  Divide among 4 glasses.

From Real Simple’s ’10 Ideas for:  Vanilla Ice Cream,’ this is soooo good.  My husband and I drank it all up – and no I didn’t cut it in half like I do with recipes a lot of the time!  This drink is delicious, easy and quick.

. . . becomes this!

 

I did use Triple Sec instead of Cointreau.  Cointreau isn’t cheap and with this being the only recipe I had a use for it at the time, I couldn’t justify buying it. But I already had Triple Sec on hand, so voila!

As soon as strawberries are back in season, this will be back on my list to make.  I can almost taste it now just telling you about it!  Mmmm.
