A great alternative is milk substitutes
Ice cream is an integral part of the daily shopping basket of consumers during the warm season. Data shows that in total, during the 3 summer months, ice cream is sold 5 times more than in December-February. In addition, various plant-based drinks are increasingly attracting the attention of consumers, which are also perfect for making ice cream cocktails. Fruits and berries are also popular: from strawberries to peaches, mangoes or pineapples.
In the last few years, we have seen a trend of making various cocktails not with traditional milk, but with plant-based drinks made from oats, rice, almonds or soy. Plant-based drinks often find their way into ice cream cocktails. Almonds are most often used in ice cream cocktails, but rice or oat drinks are also perfect for making them. In addition, plant-based drinks can be combined with bananas, other favorite fruits, various berries or jams, syrups
Plant-based products are rich in beneficial properties and vitamins. However, according to the representative, it is worth noting that this is not milk, but a drink of plant origin, which cannot provide the body with all the substances characteristic of regular milk, so if you tolerate lactose, do not forget about traditional milk when making ice cream cocktails. In addition, full-fat cow's milk also gives ice cream cocktails the best texture.
The quality of ice cream is important
If you want your ice cream cocktail to be extra cold and refreshing, chill it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before pouring it into a glass. This way, you won't need to add any extra ice cubes to your cocktail. Another tip is to let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before adding it to the blender. This will give your ice cream cocktail a creamy texture. You shouldn't add ice cubes to your blender either. It's better to shake the cocktail first and then add a few ice cubes to prevent the cocktail from becoming watery.
When making cocktails, it is very important to choose the right ice cream
In order for the final result of the ice cream cocktail to be rich in taste, you should choose ice cream made from the highest quality ingredients. It is best that it has the most natural composition possible, made from natural cream. Even when making cocktails of the most diverse flavors: chocolate or berry, it is best to choose vanilla ice cream. This type of ice cream, when mixed with your favorite products, will enrich the cocktail with an extraordinary taste, and vanilla ice cream is usually not as sweet as caramel or chocolate.
