Localist Milkshake

OK. OK. OK. I know – what we think of as hot here in SF is not hot anywhere else. But it was 22C today. The fact that it’s 20 (that’s 68F…) at 7PM is just hot for July. We can sometimes expect mid 60s here, but only in the midday. I’ve seen it hit the 40s in July and August. That’s about 8 or 9C. So. It’s hot today. My parents, in southern Alabama, laugh at this.

I made a milkshake though. Yes, it could be called a float, but blended it thick and creamy so it’s more like a fizzy shake, and not really so fizzy at all. I used a one-to-one ratio, Straus Family Creamery Vanilla Bean and this amazeballs currant sour from Original Pattern Brewing Company. I combined them slowly in my swirly tumbler which came from a local potter, Koide Studio. When I say slowly, I mean that – otherwise it would have foamed up. The end result was VERY refreshing on this (cough) hot day in SF.
