This recipe for the Ultimate Raspberry and Wine Milkshake is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser! This boozy goodness is inspired by country music artist Krystal King.
I have to admit when Krystal brought up wine, It left me scratching my head. Why? I couldn’t for the life of me come up with something that hasn’t been done a million times over. After some research and a week of extremely high heat, I came up with wine based milkshake. As crazy as it sounds, It came out awesome. Red wine and raspberries made everything pop! With the addition of ice cream, it only gets better.
There were some difficulties creating this recipe. For one, I wanted the raspberries to hold their own next to the wine. That’s where the sauce comes in. Secondly, to keep things creamy, I added some vodka to avoid too many ice crystals. Lastly, I have never been a fan of canned whipped cream so I made my own. With all these extras, we had to use the word ultimate.

Milkshake
- Pour ingredients into a quality blender. Blend on high speed until everything comes together. Depending on your mixer, it should only take 30-45 seconds. The mixture should be a light shade of pink when everything is combined. The vodka is there to keep everything creamy.
Service

Repeat the process for every wine glass. Divide the milkshake mixture among the four glasses. Using a pastry bag or spoon, top the milkshake with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint!
