Ingredients

Liquids & Liqueurs:

• 1 oz Cake vodka
• 1 oz Vanilla vodka
• 1 oz White chocolate liqueur

Frozen Component:

• 5 scoops Vanilla ice cream

For Garnish:

• Sprinkles
• 1 Ice cream sandwich

Additional (Optional):

• Ice, for extra thickness if needed

Instructions

1️⃣ Blend the Base

• In a blender, combine:
  • Cake vodka
  • Vanilla vodka
  • White chocolate liqueur
  • Vanilla ice cream
• Blend until smooth and thick—like a boozy milkshake!
• Add a few ice cubes if you prefer a frostier texture.

2️⃣ Pour & Sprinkle

• Pour the blended cocktail into a chilled goblet or milkshake glass.
• Stir in or sprinkle on colorful sprinkles throughout the drink for that festive confetti vibe.

3️⃣ Garnish & Serve

• Carefully perch an ice cream sandwich on the rim or let it float gently on top.
• Add a straw, more sprinkles, and even a sparkler if you’re going all out.
• Serve immediately and toast to the best birthday ever!

Notes

• Vanilla vodka too sweet? Sub in regular vodka for balance.
• Make it chocolatey: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or swap in chocolate ice cream.
• Kid-friendly version? Skip the booze and blend ice cream with milk, white chocolate syrup, and a dash of vanilla extract.

Helpful Tips for the Perfect On My Birthday Cocktail

• Chill your glassware: Pop your goblet or milkshake glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before blending. A frosty glass keeps your cocktail colder longer and looks extra festive!
• Scoop ice cream ahead of time: If you’re making multiple drinks, pre-scoop and freeze the ice cream scoops on a baking sheet—this way you’re ready to blend quickly and stress-free.
• Adjust sweetness to your taste: This drink is indulgent! For a slightly less sweet version, use plain vodka in place of cake vodka or cut the white chocolate liqueur to ½ oz.
• Get creative with the garnish: Not feeling the ice cream sandwich? Try a cupcake, a donut hole on a skewer, a sprinkle-dipped marshmallow, or even a candle for birthday vibes!
• Make it extra thick: Want that classic milkshake texture? Add a few ice cubes or freeze your liqueurs for 15 minutes before blending.
• Add a rim for flair: Dip the rim of your glass in honey or simple syrup, then roll in sprinkles for a playful, party-ready finish.
• Make it non-alcoholic: Use milk or a splash of cream, white chocolate syrup, and a few drops of vanilla extract in place of the booze for a kid-friendly or booze-free version.
• Serve immediately: This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh from the blender while it’s thick, cold, and dreamy. It melts fast—don’t let it wait!

Conservation and Storage

• Best served immediately—this is a frozen treat meant to be enjoyed fresh.
• If making ahead: Blend the base and store in the freezer for up to 1 hour. Re-blend before serving to refresh the texture.
• Garnish only when ready to serve to maintain presentation and structure.

Substitutions and Variations

• No cake vodka? Use vanilla vodka with a drop of almond or butter extract.
• Add more chocolate: Blend in chocolate chips or top with shaved chocolate.
• Dairy-free? Use non-dairy ice cream and a dairy-free liqueur like coconut cream liqueur.
• Make it even more dessert-like: Add whipped cream and a cherry on top!

Storage Instructions

• Store blended cocktail base (without garnish) in the freezer for up to 1 hour before serving.
• Stir or re-blend to refresh texture before pouring.
