Hi friends! It’s been a crazy/slow/fast week, right? We are in that slump between waiting for spring and waiting for winter to be gonezo. Let’s high five winter and say ‘adios!’ with this boozy milkshake. Dessert+Booze= Love
This recipe can really be easily adapted to what you have on hand.
No bourbon? Whiskey is mighty fine.
No apples? Any kind of fruit pie is nice, just throw it in there and see what happens.
Let’s talk about drinking dessert. Oftentimes, I would much rather eat a slice of cake than drink a cake batter smoothie/shake. But, when we add a sharp spirit to the mix, slurping dessert never tasted so fine. The possibilities are endless for dessert cocktails. Happy hour+dessert course before dinner, yes and yes!
Hope you aren’t getting hammered with winter’s demise where you are, happy Friday and have a great weekend!
Bourbon Apple Pie Milkshake
1 apple, sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 oz. bourbon
1/4 cup oats (rolled or instant, your choice)
1/2 banana, frozen
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1. Combine all ingredients in blender, blend on medium until ingredients are combined.
Mmmmm I love apple pie! I bet this taste awesome!
It does! Nice and refreshing : )
I’m totally going to drink my dessert tonight! yum. And I’m ready to high five winter goodbye and bring on spring!!! I need some sunshine in my life stat!
Same here! The snow and dreary days are getting to me, bring on spring!
Sometimes it’s fun to drink dessert! While I am ready for some spring weather and being able to run outside without freezing, I fear that winter is going to stick around these parts for a few more weeks.
Yummy yummy yummy!
I love the added bourbon here : so special too!
Lovely idea! Drinking a dessert is a nice change of pace and cocktails are always wonderful!
Agreed! : )
This sounds amazing!
I think this would work pretty well in summer too
I agree!
Great for all occasions, and so versatile too! I can’t help but think it would be absolutely perfect for a splash of hard cider instead of the bourbon though… Gotta double up on the apple goodness.
Ohh I like the way you think! I’ll have to try that next time!
Love the styling of that first photo! If I’m going to drink, this is definitely the way I want to do it
Thank you, I wholeheartedly agree : )
