A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Cointreau, brandy, and creme de cacao blended with vanilla ice cream forms this delicious milkshake-cocktail hybrid.

1 quart vanilla ice cream
2 jiggers Cointreau
2 jiggers brandy
2 jiggers creme de cacao
Put the ice cream in a blender. Add the Cointreau, brandy, and creme de cacao. Process until blended.
Pour immediately into glasses and serve.
Optional: sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder before serving.
For a richer flavor, use premium quality vanilla ice cream.
Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly for a smooth and creamy texture.
For a stronger orange flavor, you can add a splash of fresh orange juice to the mixture.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk to the mixture before blending.
While vanilla ice cream is traditional, feel free to experiment with different flavors like chocolate, coffee, or even salted caramel for a different twist.
Cointreau is a brand of orange-flavored liqueur. If you don't have Cointreau, you can substitute with another orange liqueur like triple sec or Grand Marnier.
If you're not a fan of brandy, you can substitute with dark rum or whiskey for a different flavor.
Get creative with your garnishes! You can sprinkle crushed nuts, chocolate shavings, or even a dollop of whipped cream on top of the cocktail for added flair.
Serve the Velvet Hammer Cocktail in chilled cocktail glasses for an extra frosty treat. You can also rim the glasses with cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
