In case you’re not tipsy off wine while feeding chocolate strawberries to your lover or boozy at a singles-only event with your friends yet, here’s a FOODBEAST original to fix that dilemma: Spiked Red Velvet Shakes, aka Forever Alone Milkshakes. We made these babies last Friday as a post-lunch dessert, which resulted in the office kicking off the weekend early. Note, we made the mistake of pouring the liquor first (pic on the right), rather than after the ice cream. You want the ice cream to soak up the booze for an even flavor, or you can just mush it all up into one hotmess of Valentine’s Day awesome.
