One of my absolute favorite things I tried was this drink. I absolutely loved it. I came home and just had to re-create it for my self. It took some experimenting to get it how I liked it. I just had to add my own twist. Now when I fix this chocolate shake it takes me right back to Aruba and the calming sound of the turquoise water lapping on white sand beaches. I have never seen such beautiful water as those surrounding this small island.
Aruba is just 17 miles north of Venezuela and thankfully, below the hurricane belt. So they enjoy almost consistently warm sunny weather year-round. My friend and I went in June and it was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation I have ever been on. Aruba is the place to sit back and relax on the calm sandy beach, or enjoy many activities from para-sailing to deep sea fishing. There is as much to do on the island as you want...or not. Your choice.
Chocolate Shakes for Adults Only!
1 c ice cubes
4 oz half and half
1/3 c chocolate syrup
2 oz whipped cream vodka
In a blender crush the ice cubes to fine dust. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend. Pour into glasses and enjoy. (I keep a frozen mug just for this one.)
Note: You can adjust the thickness by adding more ice or more half and half depending on your preferences. I like mine thick and creamy and extra chocolaty.
*To make this kid-friendly...omit the vodka.
