- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
- 2 oz strawberry milk (or 1 oz strawberry syrup + 1 oz milk)
- 1/2 cup vanilla or strawberry ice cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Ice cubes
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Pink sugar or sprinkles (for the rim)

Instructions
- Prepare the Glass:
- If desired, rim the glass with pink sugar or sprinkles. To do this, dip the rim in a shallow plate of syrup (chocolate or strawberry), then dip into pink sugar or sprinkles.
- Blend or Shake:
- In a blender, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, strawberry milk, and ice cream (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Alternatively, if you prefer a thinner drink, combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until well chilled.
- Assemble the Drink:
- Drizzle the inside of a chilled glass with chocolate syrup or strawberry syrup, if desired. Pour the blended or shaken drink into the glass.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pink sugar or sprinkles. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the alcohol with 1 oz chocolate syrup, 1 oz coffee-flavored syrup, and 1 oz strawberry milk.
- Customize the pink hue by adjusting the amount of strawberry syrup or using food coloring.
- Add crushed ice to the blender for a frosty texture if skipping the ice cream.
