The Pink Squirrel with Ice Cream is a sweet and boozy adult milkshake with flavors of almond and chocolate. Vanilla ice cream complements the sweet notes of White Creme De Cacao and Creme De Noyaux to create a creamy pink drink that is perfect for dessert!
The Pink Squirrel can be enjoyed as a blended ice cream drink or a shaken cocktail. Some sources claim that the ice cream version is the original and the shaken version came later, which is the opposite of how ice cream drinks typically come to be.
