   • Start by combining equal parts vodka and Kahlua in a blender. The vodka adds a clear, neutral base while the Kahlua contributes its distinct coffee liqueur flavor, creating a balanced and aromatic foundation for the drink.

2. Add Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream:

   • Next, introduce vanilla extract to enhance the drink’s depth of flavor. Then, gradually incorporate chocolate ice cream into the blending process. The chocolate ice cream not only enriches the texture but also infuses the drink with creamy, chocolatey goodness.

3. Adjust Consistency:

   • As the mixture begins to thicken, incorporate ice cubes to cool and further thicken the drink to your desired consistency. Additionally, add more chocolate ice cream if needed to achieve the ideal balance of creaminess and thickness.

4. Serve Hummers:

   • There are two serving suggestions based on the desired consistency:
     • For a thinner consistency, pour the blended mixture into brandy snifters. This allows the flavors to mingle while offering a sophisticated presentation.
     • For a thicker texture, scoop the mixture into sherbet glasses and serve with a dessert spoon. This presentation enhances the dessert-like qualities of Hummers, making it a satisfying treat after any meal.
