We love ice cream. And we love alcohol. This pretty-in-pink cocktail is a combination of both, making it the most perfect drink ever mixed. With almond liqueur and cold vanilla ice cream, this 1950s milkshake-style beverage is an absolute treat.
More About This Recipe
- Grab your netted hats and white gloves, folks, because we’re headed back to the 1950s—specifically, to the upper Midwest. The Pink Squirrel was invented at Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by owner John Dye. It’s like a milkshake, but richer and boozier. And thanks to its blushing hue, it makes a great Valentine’s Day drink.
