Made famous by Ruth Chris Steakhouse, the Chrissy is an ice cream drink that has become a popular signature cocktail or dessert cocktail for wedding receptions. Using only 3 ingredients, it is super easy to make and is a Christmas tradition at my house. These photos are from a wedding I produced in December of 2020 and guests loved it. (I made the gingerbread men, too) Hope it becomes a Christmas tradition at your house!
CHRISSY ICE CREAM COCKTAIL
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Frangelico (hazelnut) liqueur
1 ounce vodka
Vanilla ice cream, slightly softened—2 medium scoops is about right.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the Frangelico and vodka in a blender . (You can use an immersion blender or a large cocktail shaker. If you use a shaker, you’ll need to add a handful of ice.)
Add the ice cream and blend until it is creamy and smooth-like a milk shake.
Serve in a chilled, stemmed glass. Makes one cocktail.
