This drop-dead gorgeous “hard shake” is a boozy chocolate milkshake like no other! Made full-fat or vegan-friendly, it’s the perfect chilled treat for chocolate milkshake lovers, come spring, summer, autumn or winter!

For this recipe, we were inspired by the incredible H!P Salty Pretzel Mini Chocolate Bar and H!P Salted Caramel Mini Chocolate Bar that we sent in Craft Gin Club’s May 2023 Gin of the Month box. They are remarkably creamy chocolate bars that just happen to be vegan - we are in love!

We have replicated their creamy texture and sumptuous chocolaty, biscuity, caramel-y allure in this “hard shake” recipe, which sees gin mixed with caramel syrup, oat milk and vegan-friendly ice cream. All of those rich, decadent, sweet tones are balanced with a touch of salt to really make them sing.

The oat milk gives the recipe those pretzel-esque biscuit tones, which are then accentuated by the grated H!P garnish. We cannot get enough.

What’s more, this recipe is very easy to make at home. All you have to do is blend all of the ingredients together and pour. Et voila!
