Learn how to mix Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake into a creamy, indulgent cocktail. Step-by-step guide with tips for the perfect balance.
Quick answer
For a perfectly balanced creamy cocktail, mix Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake with whole milk and vanilla ice cream, then garnish with fresh strawberries.
Why Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake works so well in cocktails
Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake is a flavored spirit drink at 15% ABV, meaning it's less intense than standard vodka but still carries a noticeable kick. Its gold closure doubles as a shot glass, making it easy to measure and pour. The blend of five-times distilled vodka with high-quality strawberries gives it a smooth, velvety finish that mixes beautifully with dairy without turning watery or grainy.
Because it's already sweet and creamy, you don't need to add syrups or extra sugar. That also means you should avoid over-diluting with too much ice or thin mixer. The key is to treat it as both the spirit and the flavor base, so your additions should complement rather than compete.
How to mix the perfect Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake cocktail
- Chill your glass and tools: Place a highball or milkshake glass in the freezer for 10 minutes. Also chill your cocktail shaker or mixing tin. A warm glass will melt ice too fast and thin out the creamy texture. A cold glass keeps the drink thick and smooth longer.
- Measure the Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake: Pour 50ml (about 1.7 oz) of Au Vodka Strawberry Milkshake into your shaker. Use the gold closure as a shot glass for an exact measure. Common mistake: pouring too much, which makes the drink boozy and overpowers the creaminess. Stick to 50ml for balance.
- Add whole milk and vanilla ice cream: Add 100ml of whole milk and two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to the shaker. Whole milk gives body; low-fat milk makes the drink watery. The ice cream thickens and sweetens naturally. Don't use skim milk or non-dairy alternatives unless you want a thinner texture.
- Shake hard for 15 seconds: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. This aerates the mix and incorporates the ice cream evenly. Over-shaking adds too much air and creates foam; under-shaking leaves chunks of ice cream. 15 seconds is the sweet spot.
- Strain and pour into the chilled glass: Use a fine-mesh strainer to catch any ice shards or unmixed ice cream bits. Pour slowly into your chilled glass. A common mistake is skipping the strainer, which leaves an icy, gritty texture. Always strain for a silky finish.
- Garnish and serve immediately: Top with a fresh strawberry on the rim and a short straw. Serve right away — the drink separates and thins as it sits. Don't add extra ice cubes; they dilute the creamy consistency. Serve within 2 minutes for the best texture.
