Notes
[‘Let your ice cream sit out for a few minutes before blending to avoid overworking your blender.’, ‘Taste as you go—if it’s too sweet, add a splash more vodka; if it’s too boozy, add another scoop of ice cream.’, ‘Freeze your serving glasses beforehand to keep your milkshake cold longer.’, ‘You can pre-mix the shake and keep it in the freezer for up to an hour before serving. Just give it a quick blend again before pouring.’]
