What's more satisfying than the rich and creamy sweetness of a milkshake? A milkshake that will also get you totally buzzed. As cocktails and desserts respectively reach new heights, boozy milkshakes stand as a triumphant mixture of the two worlds.

When you were a kid, you probably thought that milkshakes were the best thing in the world. But you were wrong – that would be adult milkshakes. When you combine a shot (or two) of whiskey, milk, ice, and plenty of mix-ins like Oreo or bacon, it truly is a match made in heaven.

But where can one find boozy milkshakes in Dallas? As hotter weather quickly approaches, these 11 spots can provide cold, creamy alcoholic relief.
