Follow these steps at home to make a peanut butter whisky milkshake! Creamy and thick, a boozy milkshake with alcohol is a fun way to spice up classic homemade ice cream milkshakes. Two flavor twists shared below

If you’re a fan of peanut butter whiskey, be sure to check out my peanut butter whiskey fudge brownies and soft peanut butter whiskey cookies for a memorable treat!

What Alcohol is Good in Milkshakes?

The best alcohol for a boozy milkshake recipe is one that has flavor. Whiskey and bourbon, especially ones with added flavors like peanut butter and chocolate are the best in my opinion.

Flavored liqueurs like Cointreau (orange) and Chambord (raspberry) are great additions too. Alcohols like gin and vodka will make a milkshake boozy but don’t add much flavor wise.

How to Make the Perfect Milkshake

The perfect milkshake is super thick, creamy and smooth. The key to this yummy texture is to let the ice cream soften just for a few minutes so that it doesn’t get chunky when blended. About 10 minutes does the trick.

Surprisingly just a tiny bit of milk is needed to thin the ice cream to just the right consistency. Because these milkshakes also include a shot of peanut butter whiskey, less milk will be needed to thin it out, So don’t be surprised at how little milk is in the recipe.

You can also use heavy cream or a dairy-free creamer like Nut Pod plant-based creamers, which are unsweetened.

Serve your milkshake in a super cold glass for the best shake. Place the glass in the freezer for 30 minutes before making your shake. This will help keep your milkshake thick and creamy all the way to the bottom of the glass,

Ingredients

These milkshakes with alcohol start with a base of vanilla ice cream. Using a quality vanilla ice cream definitely makes a big difference. I am mostly dairy-free and avoid ice cream, so I use a dairy-free version. So Delicious Cashew Milk ice cream alternative is an excellent choice.

Both shakes use some peanut butter to add to the creamy texture and amp up the peanut butter flavor. It works best to use natural (not no-stir) peanut butter. The no-stir versions include palm oil which doesn’t combine as well with cold ingredients.

If you keep your peanut butter in the refrigerator, take it out to come to room temperature. Or place the amount needed for the recipe in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10-15 seconds.

One shot of peanut butter whiskey is added to both shakes. If you don’t have a shot glass, a shot is the same as 3 Tbsp of whiskey. If you like your drinks strong, go with 1/4 cup. I enjoyed the full 1/4 cup.

Peanut butter whiskey is already nicely sweetened but still boozy enough to give these shakes a kick. There are several brands of peanut butter whiskey, including Skrewball, Bird Dog and Shepherd’s, among others. Any one of these will work well in this recipe but Skrewball is my favorite.

The cookies and cream shake starts with two Oreos or Oreo type cookies. They’ll be ground up in the blender on their own so that they are almost a powder. I am also gluten-free and there are several excellent gluten-free Oreo type options including Goodie Girl and Glutino.

The second shake uses raspberries to give a nod to peanut butter and jelly. The tart flavor of raspberries is so perfect with the sweet whiskey. Either fresh or frozen raspberries will work. Stuff the measuring cup full with berries and don’t be afraid to go a little bit over.

  • If you want a good kick of whiskey, go with 4 Tbsp (same as ΒΌ c). If not, stick with 3 Tbsp which is the exact amount of a shot.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and blend on high until smooth.
  • Serve with whipped cream, crushed cookies and a drizzle of peanut butter

I prefer my carrot cake with no crushed pineapple or nuts or raisins. I use a little applesauce to give it some fruity flavor but that's it. So if you're on team nut-free, raisin-free, this is the cake for you.
