Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups unfiltered apple cider
  • 1/8 cup bourbon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/8 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream (about 3 medium scoops)

Instructions

  1. To make the cider reduction, bring apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan, then let it simmer until reduced by half. Let it cool and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. For the maple whipped cream, whip the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, then gradually add in the maple syrup while continuing to whip.
  3. In a blender, combine the cider reduction, bourbon, cinnamon, ginger, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree. Add the vanilla ice cream and pulse until smooth.
  4. Divide the milkshake among serving glasses, top each glass with maple whipped cream, and serve immediately.
