Not many things will get my kids out of the pool like a salted caramel milkshake, and not many things will increase your odds of being pushed into the pool like drinking a salted Jack Daniel’s caramel milkshake with me and my buddies.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) bourbon, optional
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus extra for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vanilla bean ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Pour 1/3 cup water and the bourbon into a medium saucepan and set over high heat. Carefully pour the sugar directly into the center so none of it splashes up the sides of the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar starts to turn brown. Do not stir the pot. If you need to, gently swirl the pot to help melt all the sugar.
- Once the sugar turns a rich, deep brown, remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour in the cream, taking care as it will splatter a little. Add the butter, salt, and vanilla. Swirl the pot until the butter dissolves completely and evenly into the caramel sauce-this makes it shiny and rich.
- Drizzle a little of the caramel sauce into 2 tall milkshake glasses. Combine the ice cream, milk, and the remaining caramel sauce in a blender, reserving a little of the caramel for the topping. Blend until smooth and pour into the glasses. Top each with a little whipped cream, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of the reserved salted caramel sauce.

Reviews
Instead of bourbon use salted caramel vodka. .. .
I made this recipe exactly as written and it was delicious. The portion was a little small for my taste but given the richness of the milk shake, that’s probably for the best!
