Instructions

- Mixing Setup: Fill a blender or cocktail shaker with fresh ice, creating the foundation for a luxurious cocktail experience.
- Ingredient Fusion: Combine vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and strawberry milk into the mixing vessel, incorporating a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.
