Manhattan Cocktail Ice Cream
The Manhattan cocktail ice cream has the rich flavor of whiskey and sweet vermouth, with a dash of bitters and, of course, cocktail cherries. Trust us, this is how you want to be consuming your cocktails this summer.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 Tbsp whiskey
- 2 Tbsp sweet vermouth
- 4 dashes bitters
- 2/3 cup cocktail cherries, sliced in half. I used Luxardo., Find Luxardo cherries here.
- 2 Tbsp juice from the jarred cherries
Instructions
- Whisk together the cream, milk, and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the whiskey, vermouth, bitters, and cherry juice. At this point I like to chill the mixture for an hour or two, but it's not absolutely necessary if you're in a rush. As long as it's cold, you're good to go.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn according to your machine's directions. Note: alcohol spiked ice cream churns a little bit softer than regular ice cream recipes.
- When the ice cream is almost finished, add in the cherries and allow them to get fully incorprated.
- Scoop the soft ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least a few hours until scoopable.
- Serve a scoop or two in a lowball glass, garnished with a cherry.
Notes
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway ~ this recipe has a generous amount of alcohol in it, so keep it away from the kids.
