White Russian Winter Milkshake
I told you when I made the Cherry Coke Float Cupcakes earlier this week that I had something fun and spiked up my sleeve for the end of the week. No better day than Friday (happy hour at home, anyone?) to share this milkshake with you. Most milkshakes are reserved for summertime consumption (except, of course, the Shamrock Shake, which makes an appearance prior to St. Patrickโs Day), but when you include ingredients that are guaranteed to warm you up, I say winter is the perfect time for indulging. A week or so ago my Chief Culinary Consultant found a book that lost its home during his recent move and asked if I wanted to check it out for potential recipes. The book was full of hard milkshakes, mixed drinks, and all sorts of fun concoctions. There was a set of White Russian milkshakes, with four variations for each season. Seeing how this is winter, after all, I thought it would be more than appropriate to whip up the winter version. Itโs delicious, and it will certainly keep you warm, whew!
Iโve never been one to make milkshakes often at home. My fondest memories of homemade milkshakes are from being in high school and spending many days (and nights) at my best friend Bethโs house. Her mom used to make us the best milkshakes. To this day I still donโt know how she made them or what she used, but they were always amazing and hit the spot.

There is a relatively new (last year) burger place in Pittsburgh called Burgatory that has some of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Also on their menu are some of the most creative milkshakes Iโve ever heard of โ check them out here. They have a menu of โhard shakesโ (alcoholic) and a menu of โclassic shakesโ (no alcohol). I still havenโt gotten my hands on one because Iโm always so darn full from the awesome burger I stuff myself with. I need to work on a strategic plan for the next time Iโm headed there so I can enjoy both. The menu is so creative and inspiring; after seeing those, browsing through the fun party drink recipe book, and remembering how much I loved Bethโs momโs milkshakes, I definitely see much more homemade milkshake-making in my future!

Excellent recipe! I altered it with vanilla almond milk and vanilla vodka. Very sweet and delicious!
I love white russians. My favourite milkshakes are banana milkshakes but I will have to make these :).
You can get pre-made White Russians or even mudslides just add vanilla ice cream and they are yummy
definitely gonna make this asap
Am I seeing things in the picture or is there a layer of something inbetween the milkshake and whipped cream? I am definitely making these tonight!
Hi Emily, Nope, nothing between the milkshake and whipped cream! Enjoy them!
Just made these for Book Club tonight. They were a BIG hit! andโฆyouโve inspired me to go in search of the BEST burgers & shakes here in the โburgh. Iโm hoping to get started this weekend! YUM!
I havenโt made it to Burgatory yet, but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend the BRGR milkshakes. Anything made with booze and Dave & Andyโs ice cream gets a big thumbs up from me. Last one I had was in September and was an amazing pumpkin flavor.
Love. Love love love. Next time I watch The Big Lebowski, these are making an appearance!
This is new! Wow! I must go for the shake.
Oh, baby. Iโd skip the burger and go right for the shake! ;)
There is no such thing as perfect weather for a little whipped cream, a little ice cream and a little liquor! I welcome this cold treat in a cold Januaryโฆ.donโt be jealous snowโฆ
The Dude approves.
Holy Moly! My two vices sugar and alcohol! Perfection!
White Russians are by far my favorite drink โ I can get so much more excited over a spiked milkshake or boozy dessert than I can over a traditional cocktail. These look amazing!
mmmmm le drool!
