Milkshakes get spiked around the world

Rich, creamy milkshakes with a kick are emerging as the latest elevated comfort food trend in the US and UK and are often paired with comfort food dishes like Bloody Mary ketchup-smothered bourbon burgers.


On August 3, thespir.it, an opinion site with posts from the world's top mixologists, has listed the top places throughout the US to get a brain-freeze buzz with ice cream cocktails. Here are some highlights:

"boozy shakes," including an espresso-powder-laced White Russian.

u00a0- Ted's Bulletin (https://tedsbulletin.com/) Washington, DC
ice cream-based grasshopper, tequila sunrise, or a Bailey's caramel macchiato...

u00a0- BLT Burger (https://www.bltburger.com/) New York City and Las Vegas
