I'm gonna drink you, little slushy

This week's Resolution Recipe: Frozen Irish Coffee.

1 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz espresso
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 oz milk
1 generous scoop vanilla ice cream
5 large ice cubes

Blend everything in a blender until totally combined.

What worked: Pretty easy, and easy to drink.

What didn't: It was not frozen. It was a slushy. I put it in the freezer for a while, but between the alcohol and not really having any freezable base, nothing happened. If I had managed to freeze it the drink would have been mostly ice crystals since there's nothing to really emulsify anyway.

It also tasted like a coffee milkshake, not like Irish coffee. So 0/3 on the name.

Will I make it again? No.

Is this from the New Orleans frozen Irish Coffee thing we saw a while back? Because this is disappointing

[madbaker.livejournal.com]

Yes on both counts.

Do you think it's worth tinkering with the recipe? (I'm pretty sure you don't.)
more booze? no ice? extra coffee? coffee ice cream instead of vanilla?

I don't, but if you want to experiment and report back I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
