Pink Squirrel with Ice Cream (Wisconsin Supper Club Recipe!)

Making a Pink Squirrel with Ice Cream is the most Wisconsin way to enjoy this fabulous frozen cocktail recipe. It’s boasts the classic flavors of the beloved dessert drink – almond and cocoa – but is made even more decadent and delicious with the addition of vanilla ice cream. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for a show-stopping treat that brings the supper club experience right to your own kitchen!

Yes, I have a recipe for the standard Pink Squirrel as well, but my heart really lies with this version. The version where more dairy is added in the form of vanilla ice cream. In short, the Wisconsin version!

I have seen this recipe on almost every supper club menu I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. So you know it’s good! Just like an Ice Cream Brandy Alexander!

Four ingredients and a blender are all you need to transport yourself to the finest supper club and make this bright pink ice cream drink yourself. Let’s do it!

Ice Cream Pink Squirrel Recipe

This is just a brief overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!

Crème de Noyaux substitute

If you can't find Crème de Noyaux at your local liquor store, you can substitute amaretto which is another almond-flavor liqueur.

If using amaretto you may want to add a drop or two of red food coloring to the blender, as amaretto is not bright pink like the crème de noyaux.

White vs Regular Crème de Cacao

If you can’t find white crème de cacao you can easily substitute regular crème de cacao. The drink may just not be as bright and vibrant, but it will be just as delicious!

Ounces to Tablespoon Conversions

Here’s a very easy conversion to remember when it comes to making cocktails at home: 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons

So, for this recipe that conversion looks like 3 tablespoons crème de noyaux, 3 tablespoons white crème de cacao, and 4 tablespoons (which is ¼ cup!) heavy cream.

Cheers!
