Smokin' Hard Shake

[minesamojito]

A hard shake is basically an alco milkshake, a pleasure for us grown ups, with a bit of a cheeky kick, and you might be asking now what ingredients would I use in mine, well it wouldn’t take a genius to guess it may have chipotle chillies, chocolate and ummm bourbon. I used my favourite Buffalo Trace for this, but would be good with Jim Beam or Makers Mark.
Basically I soaked a chipotle chilli in a measure of bourbon until starting to soften, and blitzed this in a blender with a couple of scoops of chocolate ice cream, a scrape of seeds from a quarter of a vanilla pod and a small glass of whole milk until smooth.
As you’ve probably seen before on my blog this is a proven flavour combination and works great in this hard shake, give this a go as a grown up treat.

looks bloody good, each of those flavours is known to go with the next, rolled all into one naught drink sounds fab.

perhaps we should have a section for booze :-)

I do like a bit of Bourbon but never really got further than Jim Beam as supermarkets don't really stock much, is the Buffalo really good and worth a test? I must confess most gets mutilated with coke and thrown back a tad too quickly but do enjoy the odd slow one with a cube of ice.
