Choose Quality Ingredients: Purchasing the best brandy and crème de cacao you can afford will make a difference in taste.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How can I make it thicker?

Use more ice cream or less liquid. This can affect the taste slightly.

What other kind of ice cream can I use besides coffee flavored?

You can definitely use another flavor of ice cream in your milkshake if you prefer! Here are a few ideas:

Vanilla Ice Cream: This is a more common option that lets the flavors of the brandy and crème de cacao shine. Vanilla pairs well with almost anything.

Chocolate Ice Cream: For a richer, more chocolate-y brandy alexander milkshake, try chocolate ice cream. You’ll definitely get a more “milkshake-like” feel using this flavor.

Caramel Ice Cream: Adding caramel ice cream gives a sweet, buttery touch that complements the brandy and the sweetness of the crème de cacao beautifully. This is one of my favorites!

Hazelnut Ice Cream: I don’t see hazelnut ice cream often, but it pairs really well with both brandy and crème de cacao. If you can find hazelnut ice cream, it’s worth a try!
