Quick answer

An Au vodka milkshake is simply a blended drink that combines Au Vodka with ice cream and a little milk or cream. The best way to serve one is ice-cold in a chilled glass, using a flavoured Au Vodka that matches your ice cream. Start with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, 50ml of Au Vodka, and a splash of milk, then blend until smooth.

What exactly is an Au vodka milkshake?

It is a dessert-style cocktail that treats flavoured vodka as the base spirit instead of a neutral one. Because Au Vodka is five-times distilled and already flavoured, you do not need syrups or extracts to carry the taste. The ice cream supplies body and sweetness, while the vodka adds a clean, warming finish. The result is closer to a spiked milkshake than a traditional cocktail.

How to build a vodka milkshake recipe that actually works

Use a 2:1:1 ratio as your starting point: two scoops of ice cream, one 50ml measure of Au Vodka, and one splash of milk. Blend on low until the ice cream breaks down, then switch to high for ten seconds. Over-blending melts the ice cream and thins the texture, so stop as soon as the mixture looks uniform. Pour into a glass that has been chilled in the freezer for at least ten minutes.

  • For a thicker shake, freeze the ice cream for 20 minutes before blending.
  • For a lighter drink, replace half the ice cream with frozen banana or frozen berries.
  • Add the vodka last and pulse it in, so the alcohol does not warm the mixture.

Which Au Vodka milkshake flavours work best?

Match the vodka flavour to the ice cream rather than fighting it. Green Watermelon pairs naturally with vanilla or coconut ice cream, while Blue Raspberry works with vanilla or lemon sorbet. Strawberry Burst is the most straightforward match for strawberry or vanilla ice cream. If you only have plain vodka, add a spoonful of jam or fruit puree instead of relying on the spirit for flavour.

Serving vodka milkshakes for a crowd

Blend in batches of two or three servings so the texture stays consistent. Keep the glasses in the freezer and pour just before handing them out. If you are serving outdoors, place the blender jug in a bowl of ice between batches. For a lower-ABV option, use the pre-mixed cans as a base and blend them with ice cream, which keeps the alcohol content predictable.

Au vodka milkshake FAQ

Can I make an Au vodka milkshake without a blender?

Yes. Soften the ice cream for 10 minutes, add the vodka and milk, and whisk vigorously with a fork or shake everything in a sealed jar with ice. The texture will be slightly less smooth but still drinkable. A jar with a tight lid works as well as a cocktail shaker.

How much Au Vodka should I use per milkshake?

One 50ml measure per serving is a good starting point. If you use a pre-mixed can, use roughly half a can (165ml) per serving and reduce the milk to keep the consistency thick. Measure the vodka rather than pouring freely, especially when blending for guests.

What is the best way to drink an Au vodka milkshake?

Serve it ice-cold in a chilled glass with a wide straw, and drink it within 15 minutes of blending. Garnish with a slice of fruit or a dusting of cocoa only if it matches the flavour you used. Cold glass, quick serve, no long sitting.

Can I make a vodka milkshake ahead of time?

You can blend it and store it in the freezer for up to 30 minutes, but it will firm up. Stir it well before pouring. For longer storage, keep the blended mix in the fridge and re-blend with a little milk. Best fresh, but a short freezer rest is fine.

Do I need to use dairy ice cream?

No. Coconut, oat, or almond-based ice creams work, though they can be softer. Reduce the milk to one tablespoon and blend on low to avoid a runny texture. Plant-based ice cream needs less liquid.
