Instructions
- Chill your glassware in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Scoop 2 cups of vanilla ice cream into a blender, then add 1/2 cup of whole milk.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract and 2 ounces of vanilla vodka to the blender.

Notes
Use real mint extract for fresh flavor. Slightly soften ice cream before blending for smooth texture. Adjust vodka amount to taste; too much can thin the shake. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk ice cream and almond milk. Shake can separate after sitting; stir gently before drinking. Do not freeze after adding alcohol.
