Tips and Tricks
- Milkshakes are best when they’re made with high-quality ingredients. Use a premium ice cream and be sure to buy whole milk to get the perfect creamy texture.
- Red hots candies or conversation hearts would make a fun and festive addition to this shake.
- If you prefer vanilla ice cream to strawberry, you can use it instead. Just add a bit more food coloring to get the perfect pink color.
- If you don’t have milkshake glasses, these would look pretty served in hurricane glasses, mason jars, or other glass jars.
You sure can! This would be delicious with some white chocolate liqueur, strawberry liqueur, or Amaretto.
