My wife's 78 yr old aunt would like to have some of 'Grandpa's Ice
Cream' one more time for an upcoming birthday. 'Grandpa' died 30
yrs ago & nobody has made his "Booze ice cream" since-- and nobody
wrote down the recipe.

Neither she nor her sister are drinkers, so they aren't real familiar
with what flavors each might add--- but one sister thinks it was rum,
sherry and ?? - and the other thinks it was rum, port & ??.

They sound redundant to me- and no one is sure about proportions. . .
.. "or was it rum or gin. . .?"

Googling for a couple days has yielded a million recipes with "rum or
sherry" or recipes with one of the 3 liquors - but nothing with 2, let
alone 3 liquors in it.

They don't think it was the Rum Raisin, probably not his Kahlua Ice
Cream- and nobody can remember the name of it-- it was just 'The booze
Ice Cream".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim

Eggnog ice cream recipe


6 eggs, separated
10 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup rum
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 cup milk
2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

Cook the egg yolks, sugar, salt, brandy, rum and sherry in a double boiler until very light and thickened. Remove from heat, add the milk and cream; cool. Beat the egg whites until stiff, fold them in the cream mixture. Pour into a ice cream machine and process according to manufacturer's directions.
Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.

Thanks Carla-- I'll run this by them & see what they think. It has
all the liquors they came up with together.
[and thanks too, to Steve & Kilikini-- I'm thinking a batch of Grand
Marnier- and a batch of Kahlua- mixed softly after it comes out of the
machine.]

Bingo, kili! I don't use Amaretto, but Kahlua and Gran Marnier go
perfect together. I also don't mess around with diluting them into a
batch of homemade. I pour about a tablespoon of each over a scoop of
vanilla. Yum.

I've done that before, too, nb! Oh, have you have had Chambord over
vanilla? Oh, to die for!

Kahlua is Mexican. You're thinking Kalua pig, which is a type of cooking
process, but it doesn't involve alcohol!

Ben & Jerry's used to make a Kahlua-amaretto ice cream, as well as one they
called "Kaffaretto," a blend of coffee, Kahlua, and amaretto. I never got
around to trying the Kahlua-amaretto ice cream, but the Kaffaretto was very
good; I was sad to see that the flavor was retired. They've also retired a
couple Cointreau blends, Chocolate Cointreau Fudge and Chocolate Cointreau
Orange (and the related Mandarin Chocolate).

It's kind of interesting to visit their web site to see flavors they *don't*
make anymo www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_graveyard/

We'll make it next week- but the sister who does the cooking says it
looks like the right proportions & sounds like the right booze.

Thanks again-
