Pink Squirrel Drink Recipe with Ice Cream
The Pink Squirrel is a special cocktail famous for its light pink color and rich taste. Its unique flavor primarily comes from crème de noyaux, a liqueur flavored with almonds or the kernels of peaches and cherries, which imparts a subtle, nutty undertone to the drink.
Equipment
- Blender
- Cocktail glass
- Ice cream scoop
- measuring jigger
- Cocktail strainer (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 ounce crème de noyaux
- 1 ounce white crème de cacao
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Crushed ice
- Maraschino cherries

Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
- Start by adding the crème de noyaux, white crème de cacao, and vanilla ice cream into the blender. Next, add a small amount of crushed ice to enhance the creamy texture of the drink and ensure it stays nicely chilled. Blend the mixture on high until it is smooth and consistent, making sure that the ingredients are well combined.
Step 2: Prepare Your Glass
- While your drink is blending, place your cocktail glass in the freezer to cool it down quickly. This keeps your Pink Squirrel cold longer when served. If you want, you can also add some sugar to the rim of the glass for extra sweetness and a nice look.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
- Pour the blended drink into your prepared cocktail glass. If you want, add a bit of whipped cream on top for more enjoyment. To finish, put a maraschino cherry on top as a decoration.
Step 4: Enjoy
- Your Pink Squirrel drink is now ready to be enjoyed. With its yummy mix of nutty and creamy flavors, this cocktail is like a tasty dessert and a fun throwback. Take your time with each sip and enjoy the refreshing experience.
Notes
Keep in mind that freezing the mixed drink for a long time can cause ice crystals to form, changing its creamy texture. For the best taste, drink it right after making it.
