Once again we’re taking a trip back down the timeline. This time we are going back to a very poignant time in Hyrulean history, when the Gerudo Prince,Ganondorf, first attempted his take over of the kingdom of Hyrule. We travel back to Ocarina of Time.
In this era of Hyrule, in the middle of Hyrule Field, a great farm and ranch was situated, Lon Lon Ranch. Lon Lon Ranch was run my Talon and his daughter Malon, and their ranch was known for one thing in particular, their fantastic milk. Lon Lon Milk was a delicious and creamy milk known for its energizing and healing powers.
I know what you’re thinking. It’s milk. How are you going to have a recipe for milk? Well, I wanted to make a rich, sweet, and creamy milk drink that seemed on par with the splendor of Lon Lon Milk. After all, this isn’t just any milk! To capture this idea, I took inspiration from the Tres Leches cake and decided to mimic this milky sweet flavor profile in cocktail form. This is also a non-alcoholic drink, since Chateau Romani is the alcoholic, adult milk.
The resulting beverage is indeed sweet and creamy and could easily be a dessert on its own, but it does pair well with a cookie. It’s a great option for children, while the adults enjoy the Chateau Romani. Though, I do provide an alcoholic option for those who would prefer to ‘elevate’ it to an adult beverage.
Ingredients
2 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 oz evaporated milk
2 oz half and half
2 oz milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 oz rum or bourbon
Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, half and half, milk, and vanilla extract to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake well to fully blend. Pour the drink into a glass through the strainer. Enjoy!
To make an alcoholic version of the drink, add one ounce or rum or bourbon to the shaker along with the other ingredients prior to securing the lid and shaking.
