this RECIPE

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (60ml) Aftershock (cinnamon schnapps)
• ¼ cup (60ml) Vodka
• ¼ cup (60ml) 7-Up (or any lemon-lime soda)
• ¼ cup (60ml) Fruit Punch
• 2 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
• 5 Ice Cubes
• 1 dollop Whipped Cream (for topping)
• 2 Fresh Strawberries (for garnish)

• Blend until smooth and creamy.

Notes

Adjust the spice – Add more Aftershock for extra heat or reduce it for a milder taste.
Make it creamier – Add an extra scoop of ice cream or a splash of heavy cream.
Chill the glass – Freeze your glass for 5 minutes before serving for an extra cold experience.
For a slushier texture – Add more ice and blend longer.

Helpful Tips for the Perfect Fire & Ice Shake

Use High-Quality Ice Cream – The creamier the ice cream, the smoother and richer your shake will be! Avoid ice creams with too much air for the best texture.

Adjust the Spice Level – If you love heat, add more Aftershock or a pinch of cinnamon. If you want a milder version, reduce the Aftershock and add extra fruit punch.

Chill Your Glass – For an extra refreshing experience, place your glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Blend Longer for Extra Smoothness – If you want a super creamy, silky shake, blend for an extra 15–30 seconds to fully incorporate the ingredients.

Make It a Frozen Slushie – Add extra ice cubes and blend until you get a thicker, slushier consistency.

Use a Cinnamon Sugar Rim – Coat the rim of your glass with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, spicy touch that complements the drink’s flavors.

Batch for a Crowd – Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and blend in batches. Keep the mixture chilled in the freezer before serving.

Make It Extra Indulgent – Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce inside the glass before pouring for a dessert-style shake.

Garnish Like a Pro – Go beyond strawberries! Try a cinnamon stick, cherry, or a scoop of ice cream on top for an extra fancy presentation.

Conservation and Storage

The Fire & Ice Cocktail Shake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it for a short time, follow these tips:

Short-Term Storage (Up to 30 Minutes)

Freeze Instead of Refrigerate – If you’re not drinking it immediately, place it in the freezer for up to 30 minutes. This helps maintain its creamy texture.
Reblend Before Serving – If it starts to separate, just give it a quick blend to restore the smooth consistency.

Long-Term Storage (Not Recommended)

Do Not Refrigerate – The ice cream will melt, and the texture will become watery and separated.
Do Not Freeze for Long Periods – Freezing for more than 30 minutes can make the shake too hard, requiring excessive blending to regain its creamy texture.

Best Practice

For the freshest taste, blend and serve immediately. If you need to prepare in advance, mix all the ingredients except soda and ice, store the base in the fridge for a few hours, and blend with ice and soda when ready to serve.

Substitutions and Variations

No Aftershock? Use Fireball whisky or Goldschläger.
No Vodka? Try rum or bourbon.
Extra Creamy? Add a splash of heavy cream or an extra scoop of ice cream.
Berry Twist? Swap the fruit punch for strawberry purée!
Mocktail Version? Replace alcohol with cinnamon syrup + extra fruit punch.

Storage Instructions

Do not refrigerate—it will separate and melt.
Freeze for up to 30 minutes, then reblend before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this in advance?

It’s best fresh, but you can blend all ingredients except soda and ice ahead of time. Store in the freezer, then reblend before serving!

Can I use a different soda?

Yes! Try ginger ale for a spicy kick or cream soda for extra sweetness.

How strong is this cocktail?

It’s moderately strong, but you can adjust the alcohol to taste.

Conclusion

The Fire & Ice Cocktail Shake is a fun, indulgent, and unique drink that balances warm cinnamon spice with creamy vanilla sweetness. Perfect for dessert cocktails, parties, or a special treat, this shake is one you’ll want to make again and again!
