As you know, we're pretty much always in the mood to party around here, but especially in the summer! If it includes booze, ice cream, and outdoor celebrations, we're IN. To kick off the season, we whipped up this Memorial Day milkshake with a boozy kick and killer toppings.

The fun thing about these shakes is that you can really make it your own with the toppings. We added red cherries, blueberries, sprinkles, a mini cupcake, edible flowers, and even sparklers! But you can really top it with whatever you want. Have fun with it and make it festive! We are celebrating the start of summer, after all.
