recipe tips


For a richer flavor, use premium quality vanilla ice cream.

If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk to the mixture before blending.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different ice cream flavor?

While vanilla ice cream is traditional, feel free to experiment with different flavors like chocolate, coffee, or even salted caramel for a different twist.

What is Cointreau, and can I substitute it with something else?

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.

Can I use another type of alcohol instead of brandy?

If you're not a fan of brandy, you can substitute with dark rum or whiskey for a different flavor.

Can I garnish the cocktail with something other than cocoa powder?

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.

How should I serve the cocktail?

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.

How long can I store leftover Velvet Hammer Cocktail?

Leftover Velvet Hammer Cocktail can be stored in the freezer for a short period, but the texture may change slightly. It's best enjoyed fresh.
