Frosty Mojito Milkshake

Two summer beverages in one. If a mojito and a vanilla milkshake had a baby, it would be this refreshing summer treat! Lime juice and lime zest, along with white rum and vanilla ice cream make this an outstanding flavorful milkshake.

Alcohol or no alcohol. You can easily make this recipe without the rum and it will still have the signature mojito flavor. The milkshake doesn’t have a lot of booze in it, but if you’re not a drinker, you’ll still enjoy plenty of great flavor in this mojito milkshake from the fresh lime, mint leaves, and vanilla ice cream.

If you like the idea of mixing spirits with your ice cream, be sure to try my maple whiskey milkshake with espresso or this super easy raspberry sorbet champagne float!
