I’m always trying to dream up fun drinks the whole family can enjoy, and my Mummy’s Milkshake Mocktail is a crowd-pleaser. Whether it’s for a party, movie night, or just a treat on a hot afternoon, this recipe is simple and always hits the spot.
Mummy’s Milkshake Mocktail is creamy, non-alcoholic, and honestly, it’s one of those drinks that makes everyone smile.
You really don’t need much—just a few everyday ingredients and some basic kitchen stuff. If you’re after something that feels special but isn’t a hassle, you should probably give this a try.
Mummy’s Milkshake Mocktail Recipe
This mocktail comes together fast with just a handful of ingredients. I like how the flavors blend for a creamy, sweet drink—plus, the right tools make it even easier.
Equipment
- Blender: I toss everything in and blend until it’s smooth and a little frothy.
- Cocktail shaker: Sometimes I use this if I want the drink extra cold.
- Tall glass: It just looks better in something clear and tall.
- Straw: Always makes sipping more fun.
- Ice cubes: For that chill factor.
- Measuring spoons and cups: Helps keep things consistent, though I’ll admit I eyeball it sometimes.
- Spoon: Great for drizzling chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold milk (whole or 2%—I usually go with whole for extra creaminess)
- 2–3 scoops vanilla ice cream for that thick, classic base
- 1–2 tablespoons chocolate syrup for flavor and a little drama on the glass
- 2 teaspoons grenadine for a pop of color and sweet fruitiness
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice to cut the sweetness just a bit
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup if you want it sweeter (sometimes I skip it)
- Ice cubes for blending and serving
- Optional: Whipped cream and candy eyes if you’re feeling festive
Instructions
- Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of your glass.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes.
- Add milk, vanilla ice cream, grenadine, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake well, or just blend everything until it’s nice and smooth.
- Pour into your decorated glass.
- Top with whipped cream and stick on candy eyes for that mummy vibe.
- Pop in a straw and enjoy while it’s still cold and frothy.
Notes
Whole milk gives the drink a richer texture, but honestly, lower-fat milk works too. The chocolate syrup isn’t just for taste—it makes the glass look pretty cool.
If you want more fruitiness, just add a splash more grenadine. The lime juice adds a hint of tang that keeps things from getting too sweet.
Want it thicker? Extra ice cream or a couple more ice cubes in the blender does the trick. For parties, I set out toppings—whipped cream, sprinkles, even gummy worms if I’m feeling silly.
Kids and adults both go for this one. Using a shaker feels a bit fancy, but if I’m making a bunch, the blender is way faster.
I always sneak a taste before serving—sometimes it needs a touch more syrup or a squeeze of lime.

Tasting Notes
First sip? Sweet and creamy, with a soft vanilla flavor that’s just comforting. The texture is thick and smooth but not too heavy.
Here’s what stands out:
- Sweet vanilla ice cream
- A bit of chocolate from the syrup
- (Optional) Hints of banana, if that’s your thing
- Light, fresh milk taste
The ice cream keeps it super cold and refreshing. If you let it sit, it melts a bit and somehow gets even creamier.
Not a fan of super sweet drinks? Just dial back the syrup and the milk flavor will shine through more.
Decorating is half the fun. I like to toss on a few cookie bits or candy for crunch. They melt in and add a little something extra.
