Cherry Bourbon S’mores Milkshake

Yield: 2 large milkshakes or 4 small shakes

Sweet, vibrant cherries take center stage in this rich and indulgent chocolate milkshake. Blended into a creamy base and finished with a s’mores-inspired rim, every sip delivers a balance of fruity brightness and deep chocolate flavor. A touch of bourbon adds subtle warmth, enhancing the natural sweetness of the cherries. It’s a bold, cherry-forward dessert that feels playful, perfect for summer nights or effortless entertaining.

You can also make these non-alcoholic by replacing the bourbon with more milk (depending on the consistency desired).

Note: You will need freezer space to put your coated glasses while the chocolate sets, and you mix your milkshake!

Glasses & Topping Ingredients:

• ¼ - ½ cup chopped dark chocolate, melted
• 3-4 sheets of honey graham crackers, crushed
• 6 large marshmallows for 2 large milkshakes, or 12 medium marshmallows for 4 small milkshakes
• 1 teaspoon dark chocolate per glass, finely shaved

Milkshake Ingredients:

• 2 cups pitted Rainier cherries (measured after pitting)
• 3 cups of chocolate ice cream
• ¼ cup whole milk
• 4 oz. bourbon (optional & adjust per your taste)

Directions:

1. To create the coating for the glasses, start by crushing the graham crackers.  
2. Place the crushed graham crackers on a flat plate (large enough for rolling your glasses). Save the remaining graham crackers to use as a topping for the milkshakes.
3. To melt the chocolate, you can use a double boiler (our preferred method) or a microwave. If you are using a microwave, melt chocolate in 30-second increments, keeping a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
4. Pour melted chocolate onto a plate large enough to roll your glasses on, leaving room so the chocolate doesn’t run off.
5. Roll your glass in the chocolate, making a chocolate rim as large or as small as you’d like.
6. Then, roll your glass in the crushed graham and place it immediately in the freezer to harden the chocolate while you blend the milkshake.
7. For the milkshake, place cherries, ice cream, milk, and bourbon in a blender and blend just until smooth.
8. For the toasted marshmallows, turn on your oven broiler.
9. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and broil marshmallows for about one minute on each side. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they don’t burn!
10. Take the glasses out of the freezer and fill them with the milkshake ingredients.
11. Top with 3 marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and shaved chocolate.
12. Enjoy!
