Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients on the counter to ensure you have everything ready before starting.

- Try using chocolate or strawberry ice cream to create different flavor variations.
- Use dairy-free milk and whipped topping options to make this cocktail vegan-friendly.
- Serve immediately after blending for the best texture and flavor.
