Dark 'n' Stormy Milk Shake Recipe
Email
The Dark ‘n’ Stormy is a favorite simple summer cocktail around CHOW, so we decided to see if we could re-create it in shake form. It wasn’t much of a stretch: Rum, ginger, and lime are already made for dessert.
What to buy: Ginger juice is available at most grocery stores.
Game plan: For a slacker solution, if you can find ginger ice cream, you can sub it for the vanilla ice cream and ginger juice—the shake just won’t have quite as much of a kick.
For a superslacker solution, make a float instead by simply throwing a few scoops of ice cream into your Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktail.
This recipe was featured as part of our story on Boozy Cocktail Milk Shakes.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (14-ounce) container vanilla ice cream
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (from 1 medium lime)
- 5 teaspoons ginger juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 ounces dark rum, such as Gosling’s
- 1 lime twist, for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all of the ingredients in a blender. Pulse 8 to 10 times or until mostly smooth. Pour into a chilled glass, garnish with a lime twist if you want to get fancy, and serve.
cut some of the ice cream by blending the liquids with ice to make slush, then add ice cream as you can tolerate.
When we developed these recipes (and our milk shakes in the past) we were also surprised by how much ice cream it actually takes to get a nice thick texture once you start measuring! We tested versions with more booze and less ice cream, but those just ended up a thin, liquidy mess. Feel free to share with a friend if this sounds like too much shake for one!
since when is a container 14 oz? I buy half gallons...
14 ounces of ice cream?!? Typo, surely. If not, you might want a lipitor garnish.
Can this be created w/out alcohol? Thanks :-)
935 calories in a drink is pretty gross. Cut out 3/4 of the ice cream and use milk instead.
