Chocolate-Guinness Shake

Editor's Note: There's nothing quite like the combo of ice cream and alcohol. It's a decadent treat that we've come to love as adults. This Guinness Milkshake Recipe is thick, yummy, and the perfect dessert for any party. This milkshake recipe is especially tasty as it features chocolate and vanilla icecream, giving it a complex flavor palette. If you're looking to switch it up, consider testing out mint chocolate chip ice cream or a dark chocolate flavor.



Near the climax of the Academy Award-winning 2008 movie There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview, a ruthless early twentieth-century oil driller played by Daniel Day-Lewis, maniacally bellows at his nemesis, Eli Sunday, “Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw…and my straw reaches across the room, and starts to drink your milkshake…I…drink…your…milkshake. I DRINK IT UP!” Like memorable lines from other famous movies--“There’s no place like home,” “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” “Here’s looking at you, kid”--Plainview’s line has wormed its way into the national psyche--and vernacular. How could I not use this as inspiration for a milkshake flavor? In collusion, the Guinness stout and chocolate sorbet give this shake a deep, malty, unusual bittersweet flavor.
