Cookies n’ cream is hands down my absolute favorite ice cream and since Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas, I honestly can’t think of anything better than this recipe.
1.5 oz. Belvedere vodka
2 Oreo cookies
0.5 oz. coffee liqueur
1.5 oz. milk
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Blend with a scoop of crushed ice and pour into a milkshake glass
So this past weekend I attended Belvedere Vodka’s Belve Music Lounge party in honor of Coachella weekend! As I’m sure you know, Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas and so naturally, I was thrilled to receive the invite. The lounge was held at a private estate about 5 minutes from the Coachella festival and my friends and I hung out by the pool and sipped on some specialty Belvedere Coachella-inspired cocktails– my favorite was the Belve Beat! (check HERE for all of the recipes).
So last year I had my first Coachella experience and loved it but alas, even though Coachella is next weekend (!), I’m still not sure if I’m going or not, haha. All that aside, I got the inside scoop on the exclusive Belve Music Lounge, hosted at a private estate in Palm Springs. This way, even if I don’t end up going, I can at least drink like I’m there.

So you know I’ve blogged about Belvedere time and time again (and not just because it’s the official drink of Chelsea Lately). It’s honestly one of my top vodkas and I’m really loving this special Valentine’s Day recipe, whipped up by Belvedere’s head of spirit creation and mixology, Claire Smith. Strawberries and vodka…what’s a better combination?
