Peach, Cinnamon and Bourbon Milkshake

The rules of the booze shake are as follows:

(1) The first rule of Booze Shake is…  You can totally talk about Booze Shake.  Why do you ask?

(3) Use quality ice cream.  The stuff that is pumped full of air, when blended, will deflate faster than the wide-eyed romantic ideals of tween Twilight fans everywhere.  (If you are judging me for knowing anything about this… That makes two of us.)  Anyway.  I usually make sure to pick up ice cream that feels relatively heavy and has a relatively decent amount of calories.  Julie’s Organic did the job beautifully in this case.

XOXO,
Captain
