    These 21 boozy milkshakes will tempt you to try a decadent dessert drink. With so many creative recipes, it's hard to choose which one to try first!

    21 Boozy Milkshake Recipes

    What are boozy milkshakes? They're the adult version of your favorite milkshake—the ice cream-based version of a frozen cocktail. They're perfect to sip by the pool, on vacation or your staycation.

    One thing they all have in common is sweet creamy ice cream shop flavors. Not to mention the liqueur or liquor that makes them decadent adult beverages. Whether you indulge in cocktails or dessert, you're sure to find something you love on this list.

    On my last Caribbean cruise, there was a full menu of adult milkshakes at the coffee bar that inspired me to get creative with making frozen dessert drinks at home.

    These recipes include milkshakes made with vodka, rum, whiskey or scotch as well as flavored liqueurs like Irish cream and Kahlua—and every combination in between. They recreate your favorite desserts from cookies and cream to s'mores to cake batter and more.

    Garnished with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, strawberries or cookies, these alcoholic milkshake recipes make showstopping desserts.
