Tips for the Best Cold Brew Milkshake

Use strong cold brew for a bold coffee flavor.
Adjust the milk depending on how thick you like it—less milk = thicker shake.
Add a scoop of coffee ice cream for an extra coffee kick.
Want to make it dairy-free? Use non-dairy ice cream and milk alternatives.

Make It Your Own!

This recipe is super flexible. Here are a few fun twists:

Mocha Milkshake: Add a spoonful of chocolate syrup.
Oreo: Add in a few Oreo cookies to make it a cookie milkshake
Frozen Coffee Float: Pour over cold brew instead of blending for a float-style drink.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can freeze the blended shake for up to an hour if needed. Give it a quick re-blend before serving.
Can I use hot coffee instead?
Stick with cold brew or chilled coffee so it doesn’t melt the ice cream too fast.
