Directions
- 1
In a blender, combine the slightly softened vanilla bean ice cream, chilled whole milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt.
- 2
Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds, ensuring no ice cream chunks remain.
- 3
Carefully fold in the 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles into the milkshake base with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix and cause the colors to bleed.
- 4
Pour half of the milkshake mixture into two tall, chilled pint glasses.
- 5
Slowly and gently top each glass with 6 ounces of chilled ginger beer, allowing the effervescence to mingle with the creamy milkshake base.
- 6
Ensure a good head of foam forms at the top, if desired, by pouring the ginger beer down the side of the glass.
- 7
Garnish each Shandy generously with a dollop of freshly whipped heavy cream.
- 8
Finish with an extra sprinkling of rainbow sprinkles over the whipped cream and a bright red maraschino cherry on top, adding a pop of color and classic diner charm.

Serve immediately, as the bubbly nature and creamy texture are best enjoyed without delay.
