\nRelated:<\/B> Mai-Kai Blizzard<\/A> | Martinique Milk Punch<\/A> | Mai-Kai cocktail guide<\/A><\/p>\n

In the mood for an after-dinner drink that’s very non-traditional, or simply an alternative to straight-up ice cream? Look no further than The Mai-Kai’s Chocolate Snowflake.<\/p>\n

It’s one of the classic Polynesian restaurant’s two ice cream drinks (along with the vanilla-flavored Mai-Kai Blizzard<\/a>) on an otherwise classic cocktail menu. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is something akin to a T.G.I. Friday’s milkshake with a little rum added. <\/p>\n

The Snowflake contains the same high-quality rums and liquors as any other cocktail, and also perhaps a house-made ice cream as well. To make our tribute recipe below, you’ll need your own ice-cream maker. But the ability to make these two great after-dinner treats alone justifies the purchase of such an appliance. <\/a><\/p>\n

Size:<\/B> Medium<\/p>\n

Potency:<\/B> After dinner<\/p>\n

Flavor profile:<\/B> Mocha and chocolate ice cream with a nice little rum kick.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/B> A decadent dessert drink, much like a spiked chocolate milkshake.<\/p>\n

Rating:<\/B> 3 1\/2 out of 5 stars (see how it ranks)<\/a><\/p>\n

Ancestry:<\/B> Along with the Mai-Kai Blizzard<\/a>, one of the two ice-cream drinks on the dessert menu that veer away from classic cocktail conventions. Neither were on the original 1956 menu but were likely added later to enhance the dessert menu. <\/p>\n

Bilge:<\/b> Since chocolate is typically associated with love and romance, a pair of Snowflakes makes a nice Valentine’s Day treat (see photo below).<\/p>\n

Chocolate Snowflake tribute by The Atomic Grog, February 2012. (Photo by Hurricane Hayward)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tribute to the Chocolate Snowflake<\/strong>
\nBy The Atomic Grog<\/em><\/p>\n

* Fresh-churned soft-serve chocolate ice cream<\/p>\n

* Equal parts Kahlua and gold rum to taste<\/p>\n

Stir in the Kahlua and rum with the freshly-made ice cream. Enjoy immediately.<\/p>\n

Notes and tips for home mixologists<\/B><\/p>\n

* Like our tribute to the Mai-Kai Blizzard<\/a>, we found that the Chocolate Snowflake is perfectly suited to fresh soft-serve out of our new ice-cream maker. <\/p>\n

* The menu description touts “rums, ice cream, mocha flavors and spices” but we were able to approximate the taste with a high quality gold rum and Kahlua, which adds the necessary mocha and spicy notes. We tried strong coffee instead of the Kahlua but the flavor wasn’t intense enough.<\/p>\n

* Don’t over-do the liquors. A ratio of about 4-to-1 ice cream to booze works well. We prepared 5-ounce cocktails with around 1\/2 ounce each of Kahlua and rum. Feel free to add more if you’re in an amorous mood. <\/p>\n
