For an unconventional refresher that will hit the spot, stop by one of these area destinations for boozy milkshakes.
The Conche
It’s impossible to leave thirsty after visiting The Conche. Try the Frozen Cocoa with dark, milk, and white chocolate versions, or branch out by ordering strawberries and cream, cookies and cream, peanut butter, or salted caramel. Guests can add Grand Marnier, Baileys, Frangelico, Kahlúa, vanilla vodka, Chambord, and more to sweeten the deal. 1605 Village Market Blvd. SE, Leesburg
Ted’s Bulletin
Ted’s alcohol-infused mixtures include creations like Irish Caramel Coffee, mocha, Grasshopper, White Russian, Nutty Professor, toasted coconut, key lime pie, bananas foster, and Peppermint Junior. Or go big and imbibe a Millionaire Malt, packed with Glenlivet 18 single malt scotch. Multiple locations
Big Buns Burgers
Burgers and milkshakes go hand in hand — and at Big Buns, you can enhance your vanilla, chocolate, cookie butter, Oreo, or Nutella hand-spun, 16-ounce shake with a shot of bourbon, Irish cream, spiced rum, or whiskey. Multiple locations
Vivify Burger & Lounge
Shake fans dig Vivify’s crave-worthy flavors like chocolate cocoa, Cookie Monster, salted caramel, and coffee mocha, even without the boozy spike. Experiment by adding a splash of coffee liqueur, Irish cream, amaretto, bourbon, rum, or Jim Beam Apple. 314 William St., Fredericksburg
Melt Gourmet Cheeseburgers
On top of a dizzying array of zero-proof varieties, this Leesburg haunt offers adult root beer floats or stout beer milkshakes to enjoy with a juicy burger and fries. This spot strives to match its delicious cheeseburgers with decadent beverages that are the icing on the cake. 525 E. Market St., Ste. J, Leesburg
