• Blender

• Green paper straws

In addition to these tools above, you’ll need a few ingredients to make these boozy milkshakes.

• Chocolate ice cream
• Guinness beer—you could also use another stout beer, as stout beers tend to pair well with chocolate
• Half-and-half
• Granulated sugar
• Irish whiskey—your favorite brand or what you’ve got on hand

How to make Chocolate Guinness Milkshakes

Blend the ice cream and Guinness together in a blender until smooth.

In a bowl, combine the half-and-half with the sugar and Irish whiskey in a medium-sized bowl, and whip for using a hand mixer. The mixture will get frothier, but it won’t turn into whipped cream because it doesn’t have the fat content.

Pour a little bit of the milkshake into a glass, then add a little Irish Whiskey Cream, and continue this process back-and-forth until two milkshakes have been made.

Enjoy cold!

Quick tips and tricks for the best Boozy Milkshakes

• Make sure your beer is cold! That’ll keep the texture of the milkshake beautiful.
• Double or triple the recipe for a crowd. So long as your blender is large enough to handle it, you can make this recipe for more people to enjoy!
• Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If you make a big batch of these milkshakes, and they’ll be drunk a little later, pop the blender container into the fridge to keep it cold until someone is ready to drink it. This will keep it for up to an hour.
• Switch it up! Instead of making the frothy Irish Whiskey Cream, serve these Chocolate Guinness Milkshakes topped with sweetened whipped cream or add a shot of Irish cream to the milkshakes!
