Spiked with vodka, this milkshake will have you dreaming of a warm plate of pancakes, but this time with a sweet, adult twist.
This boozy blueberry pancake milkshake tastes exactly like a blueberry pancake. Now have breakfast for dessert and have a little fun, too! 
The last milkshake I had was when I made my matcha milkshake (you MUST try it!) during my first year of blogging.
I always feel like I should be wearing a poodle skirt sipping on my milkshake with my beau at the diner. I think the reason for this image is because I spent a lot of time drinking milkshakes in American-style diners in London with my flatmates. Late at night we would be roaming Central London and decide we needed to find Ed’s diner for milkshakes. I would always get the banana and peanut butter with a boozy twist.
I wanted to make something that was fruity, but really played on that nostalgia I have roaming around with my friends looking for a diner. And my one flatmate and I would sometimes wake up hungover in the morning and make each other blueberry pancakes with extra crispy bacon and runny fried eggs. So a boozy blueberry pancake milkshake just seems perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of alcohol instead of vodka in the Spiked Blueberry Pancake Shakes?
Yes, you can experiment with different spirits like whiskey or rum, but keep in mind that it will alter the flavor profile of your shake.

Fresh blueberries are recommended for the best flavor, but you can also use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available.
