Note 1: this is fairly potent and deceptively smooth, so you might wish to cut back on the bourbon and brandy a little.

9

Note 2: if you can get it where you are, then the only ice cream to use in this recipe is on of the following blue bell creamery flavors - natural vanilla bean, homemade vanilla, or french vanilla.

10

Note 3: any good bourbon or sour mash will do, but old forester seems to add a special something to the taste.

11

As for the brandy, don"t waste the vsop, but don"t use that buck-fifty-a-liter varnish remover that you picked up on that last trip to tijuana, either.
