June 13th is World Gin Day. Celebrate by making a Gin Martini Milkshake: gin, vermouth, and ice cream!

If the concept sounds strange to you, think of all the sweet drinks made with heavy cream, from Brandy Alexander to Irish Coffee to White Russian. This recipe simply uses “frozen cream.”

Not a gin lover? Substitute rum, tequila, or vodka.
