My inspiration for this story is a delicious, scrumptious Ice Cream Shake/Cocktail from my favorite neighborhood restaurant, HobNob Tavern in Atlanta.
HobNob http://www.hobnobatlanta.com/ is a local neighbourhood tavern located in Midtown Atlanta and the menu consists of mostly American fare, but there is a touch of the South and some English in there too.

The Chocolate Stout Milkshake is a mix of Stout and Ice Cream which is traditionally an unbeatable combination, add the chocolate....well Divine!
I recommend trying some of the other milk shake recipes from the site at home and if you live in Atlanta this is a place to visit, more than once!
Here are some other delicious recipes which utilize Ice Cream and one with Sorbet as a key ingredient!
