Rich & Decadent Black Forest Milkshake

I loved my black forest ice cream sundae recipe so much that I had to create a similar recipe – this one for adults only!

This boozy black forest milkshake features a rich chocolate and cherry flavor profile while being thick, creamy, and quite boozy. Even though it is a dessert drink, this milkshake does incorporate 3 different types of liquor so be sure to drink responsibly.

Why You’ll Love This Boozy Milkshake

Here are a few reasons to love this black forest milkshake.

Only 4 ingredients. All you need is 3 different types of alcohol and chocolate ice cream to make this shake – though I like to add some garnishes too.
Decadent flavor. Beyond the obvious chocolate flavor from the ice cream, this shake is enhanced by the black raspberry flavor of Chambord and rich creme de cacao flavor.
Ready in 5 minutes. This boozy milkshake is super quick to make and ready in just 5 minutes.

What Flavor Is Black Forest?

Black forest is based off a cake made with chocolate and cherries. It’s also a popular ice cream flavor, again made with chocolate ice cream, cherries, and pieces of cake or brownies mixed in. This black forest milkshake combines those elements to be a super tasty chocolate cherry milkshake.

Recipe Ingredients

This chocolate cherry milkshake is made with just 4 ingredients plus toppings.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

Vodka – Any quality vodka will work.
White creme de cacao – Enhances the chocolate flavor.
Chambord – Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur, so it adds more flavor to the boozy milkshake.
Chocolate ice cream – You can use regular chocolate ice cream, dark chocolate ice cream, or even black forest ice cream.
Toppings – I like to garnish my black forest milkshake with homemade whipped cream, nutmeg, and a dark cherry.

Tips & Variations

Here are a few helpful tips and variations for your boozy black forest milkshake.

Adjust the amount of liquor used. If you prefer a less boozy milkshake, you can skip the vodka. Or one of the other liqueurs, though skipping the creme de cacao or Chambord will affect the flavor.
Blend in some cherries. If you love cherries, feel free to blend in a few pitted black cherries.
Use your favorite ice cream. I used regular chocolate ice cream but dark chocolate would be incredible too, as would brownie ice cream or black cherry ice cream.
Make it without liquor. To make a non-boozy black cherry milkshake, skip all the liqueurs and just add milk to reach the desired consistency when blending.
