It doesn't matter if you love cocktails or want to make ice-cream that isn’t as sugary, adding alcohol can be a great way to add flavor to your favorite flavors. You should add only a small amount to your ice cream base.
Too much alcohol can cause ice cream to be hard and not tasty. Too much alcohol can also cause it to taste too boozy, which is not what you are going for when making ice cream, gelato or sorbet. It is crucial to add only a few tablespoons liquor per quart to your base ice cream, gelato.
This is especially important when you make a dessert with hard alcohol like vodka, Tequila, or whisky. Your ice cream will be less frozen if you have added alcoholic drinks. 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.
So, if you're wanting to make an alcoholic ice cream for a party, consider adding some alcohol to your base ice cream before freezing it to prevent it from melting before it's ready. 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 vital to understand the freezing temperature of the water that you use to make any type of ice-cream. This is an important consideration as it affects both the consistency and the flavor of the icecream.
For example, the common home freezer doesn't freeze ice that has more than about 40% alcohol by volume because it doesn't get cold enough to freeze it. You can use hard alcohol if it contains more alcohol than 40% to make icecream. This will make it less stable and melt faster that standard vanilla icecream.
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'll also need to research which types of alcohol will work best with ice cream. The good news? There are many different icecream alcoholic drinks available, including pour-overs (milkshakes), and even infused!
