The recipe today combines two of my favorite things: Bourbon and Coffee. This milkshake is beyond words amazing. The fried doughnuts, bourbon, and coffee are so good together.
Randomly, I started thinking about boozy milkshakes and wanted to create something different. This week I was in Pike Place Market and stumbled upon a doughnut vendor. It’s one of those vendors that you can smell a mile away. Fried mini doughnuts had to come home with me but I also had to justify the purchase. Meaning I had to justify to myself why I needed to go home with a bunch of fried doughnuts given my vague commitment to start eating healthy this week. So, I thought about it and decided I had to make some kind of doughnut cocktail. Then it occurred to me that some kind of breakfast milkshake would soon be in the works. I added coffee, bourbon, doughnuts, and gelato to the blender which created some kind of awesome ordeal.
It is your weekend breakfast in a cup plus an added benefit of bourbon. I would serve this at a dinner party as dessert to really freak people out. I love having coffee after dinner and this is coffee service and dessert all in one. I am telling you to make this ASAP because it is that good! Coffee+Bourbon+Doughnuts+Gelato=Happy Life !
