Here’s What You’ll Need to make this Cherry Vanilla Milkshake Recipe:

This should be enough to make 4 milkshakes

• 1 jar of maraschino cherries – without stems – 6 oz. – do not drain
• 1 jar of maraschino cherries – WITH stems – for garnish
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup of ice
• 7 oz. of fluff
• 1 cup milk

Now, Here’s What You’ll Need To Do:

 

 

• Blend the  jar of maraschino cherries without the stems, until it puree’s

• Dividing the cherry puree’ evenly among the serving glasses, pour into the bottom of glasses
• **If you want to make the white and red contrast – I suggest cleaning the cherry juice out of 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 in the empty 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 stem

 

• If you add a blue and white straw, this makes a great patriotic drink
