You can make delicious, tasty cocktails with alcohol. Keep in mind, however, that alcohol should not be added to ice cream bases.
Too much alcohol can cause ice cream to be hard and not tasty. Too much alcohol can make ice cream or gelato taste too sweet. Make sure to only add a couple of tablespoons of liquor per cup of base icecream.
This is especially important when you make a dessert with hard alcohol like vodka, Tequila, or whisky. These alcoholic drinks can lower the freezing point for your ice cream. This means that it will melt faster than a non-alcoholic version of the same recipe, and will also have more pronounced ice crystals in it.
You can make an alcoholic version of your base icecream for parties by adding alcohol before freezing to keep it from melting. Similarly, if you're planning on making a sorbet that includes hard alcohol, add the alcoholic component to your ice cream before it freezes to prevent it from liquefying and turning into a thick, sticky mess.
It is important to know how cold the water will freeze before making any type ice cream. This is an important consideration as it affects both the consistency and the flavor of the icecream.
The common home freezer won't freeze ice with more than 40% alcohol by volume, because it isn't cold enough to freeze. But, if you are using hard alcohol that has more than about 40% alcohol by volume to a frozen dessert, it will likely lower the freezing point of your ice cream so that it's less stable and will melt faster than a standard vanilla ice cream.
Important to remember that if you make icecream with hard alcohol, it is important that the icecream doesn't get too thick. The harder it will be to scoop, the more hard the alcohol.
You will also find that some types of alcohol work better with icecream than others. Make sure you do your research before making any decisions about the type of alcoholic beverage you are going to make. There are many ice-cream alcoholic drinks that you can choose from. These include milkshakes, pour-overs and even infused icecream.

It depends on how much you make. It will take 20 minutes to make 12 cocktails. It will take 40 minutes if you make 24 cocktails.
How long does wine chill for?

How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Let sit overnight. Strain out sugar crystals by using cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. After shaking vigorously for 10 secs, strain the mixture into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
