112 degrees. For the past few days the heat index in the South has been roughly 112 degrees.
I’ve learned that there are two types of people in this world — those who crave the heat and those who run to the A/C like they’re going to melt on the spot. As someone who uncontrollably weeps when the temperature hits the high 80s, it can be an uphill battle to find relief from the heat.
But if we can all agree on one thing, it’s that the best way to combat the sweltering summer is to dive into a bit of ice cream. No matter if you’re someone who likes it hot or someone who’s already counting down for fall to come around, these boozy milkshakes are a dose of sweet relief.
Cheers to boozy desserts.
