Spiked Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes with Bourbon and Whipped Cream

Yes—I am posting a milkshake “recipe.”

Go ahead—judge me. I know you can toss ice cream and milk into a blender and hit start, but adding a generous slug of bourbon? That’s an art.

That said, I loved this so much I didn’t want you to miss out. Also, my last-minute cookie attempt on Tuesday flopped, so I needed something sweet and satisfying. And since I’ve already covered the usual pumpkin-everything recipes, why not celebrate fall with a boozy milkshake that tastes like pumpkin pie?

This shake is exactly my kind of dessert-drink. Hopefully it’ll become yours, too.
