Who doesn’t love ice cream and booze mixed together? I’ll tell ya who, Jules but that’s ok, she has a great recipe that doesn’t use dairy. In this episode we cover the classic Pink Squirrel and Jules’ dairy-free Squirrely Girl. They are nutty and delicious. Uncle Brad gives us the scoop on the history behind the drink and together we tackle Mary Kate Schuster’s question, “What are your favorite drinks/recs for new home cocktail makers to try as they get into cocktails?”    Pink Squirrel – the real way  We use vanilla ice cream here, not heavy cream. When it comes to ice cream, don’t use the yellow stuff, it messes up the color. Use white.   Chill your goblet or hurricane glass  Grab your blender or immersion blender  In your blender or shaker tin add,  3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, what’s a scoop look like, about the size of a tennis ball.   1oz of half & half  ¼ cup crushed ice  1.5 oz creme de noyaux (Tempus Foo-git)  1.5 oz white creme de cacao  Whiz it aournd until it’s smooth  Pour into your chilled goblet or hurricane glass  Garnish with whipped cream, nutmeg, and a cherry    Jules Pink dairy-free squirrely girl version  In your blender or shaker tin add,  1/2 oz Almond liqueur  ½ oz cherry syrup  ¾ oz white creme de cacao  1 oz coconut cream  ½ oz Cognac  Shake for 20 – 30 seconds  Pour into your glass  Garnish with fresh nutmeg on top and a cherry!      TIP: Mary Kate Schuster’s question, “What are your favorite drinks/recs for new home cocktail makers to try as they get into cocktails?”    The Art of Drinking  IG: @theartofdrinkingpodcast     Jules  IG: @join_jules  TikTok: @join_jules   Website: joinjules.com    Brad   IG: @favorite_uncle_brad    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
