Milkshakes with alcohol

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Anyone tried thus? I'm thinking of blending a milk + ice cream + oreos + vodka blend. But I know it could end up disgusting.

The cultural conservative in me says: Either have a milkshake or drink alcohol. No need to mix two things that taste good on their own.

Actually I tried something like that once and it was pretty great.  It was pretty much the same ingredients you listed, except substitute Baileys for the milk + vodka.

tofu, soymilk, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, carrots, rum.

Isn't that effectively what Irish Coffee is?  (Except with, you know, coffee)

I mean, an Irish coffee typically has so much goddamn whipped cream on it that it looks more like a milkshake than a cup of coffee anyway.

Milkshakes probably work best with some kind of creamy and/or sweet liquor. Also from reading online, vodka may not mix well with milk. (causes bad things to happen to the milk)

Irish coffee involves whiskey, not vodka.

Uh, isn't a White Russian basically just a vodka/milk mix?

try it before you post-pad with five question marks, child.

If you need to do that kind of thing in order to drink alcohol, you should not be drinking alcohol. End of.

No, it contains Kahlua as well. A true White Russian uses cream rather than milk, though.

I looked into it a bit more to see what the chemistry reason for it is - apparently vodka is ethanol based, and if too much is mixed with milk the proteins will coagulate and cause the milk to curdle. Cream works better in a White Russian because it contains more fat, which prevents this reaction. This is also why cream liquors use cream.

I had one when I visited Maryland this spring and was quite good

Hey man, at least I don't post-pad with gratuitous monologues about my childhood.

Milk and alcohol... no thanks.

[Ebowed]

Milk and alcohol... no thanks.

Good way to get sick, I almost never mix them.

[Gustaf]

White Russians are great.

There is also a drink my flatmate makes sometimes with Liqeur 43 and milk which is pretty tasty. One can also do Bailey's and milk although that doesn't serve much of a purpose to be honest.

[opebo]

I wouldn't, but yesterday I had a milkshake with dried fig in it - wow! delicious.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Never tried it, but it does sound disgusting.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Never tried it, but it does sound disgusting.

Amen, brother, amen.

[Napoleon]

White Russians are great.

This cannot be stressed enough.

So does a lot of German food.  But hey, maybe you should actually try it first.

Nope, I hate ice cream with alcohol so I calculate that I would hate milkshakes with alcohol too. Not gonna spend money to try and find out though.

[Joe Republic]

If you can taste the alcohol, you're doing it wrong.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Joe does it amplify the sweetness of the milkshake a lot?  I mean that's the part that grosses me out...which is why Gustaf's white russians wanna make me barf.
