My notes
Tips
- For an alcohol-free shake, use 6 tbsp cold milk and 2 tbsp cold strong coffee (decaf if you like) in place of the liqueurs and vodka, and whisk 1 tbsp more sugar into the base. Use 1½ times as much of each in a 709 ml24 oz tubpint.
- Coffee liqueur has a little caffeine. For a shake with almost none, use the same amount of extra Irish cream liqueur in its place; the cocoa adds only a trace.
- Keep the liqueurs and milk in the fridge until the last minute, since cold liquid keeps the shake thick. Too thick? Add 2 tbsp cold milk and run Re-spin.
Why it works
The frozen chocolate base works like ice cream: cream and sugar keep the ice crystals small, and cocoa adds body. The liqueurs bring more sugar and a little alcohol at the end, which loosen it into a thick, smooth shake.
