This drink is as pretty as it tastes. Make a dramatic layer by tilting the glass while pouring in the vanilla half of the milkshake. I love fun drinks like this one and this Red, White, and Blue Layered Drink, or this Cotton Candy Mocktail for kids

  • One jar of maraschino cherries – WITH stems – for garnish
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup of ice

Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients in Blender

Tip: *If you want to make the white and red contrast – I suggest cleaning the cherry juice from the blender. Otherwise, you’ll get a pink and red milkshake. 

  • Pour the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth
  • Aiming for a side of the glass, away from the cherry puree, tilt the glass at a slight angle. Pour the vanilla onto the clean glass surface and let it fill the space. You should get a cool division of the cherry and vanilla, showing a slanted line where they come together.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry with a stem.
