Nancy Drew was one of my favorite book series when I was growing up and I was a kid. Later, they started releasing video games based off of the book series and I loved it, my first Nancy Drew game was the Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. As a child it was fascinating to explore the world and solve the mystery, I always got stuck on some of the puzzles but would eventually figure it out after much frustration.
I was delighted to find a bundle of Nancy Drew games during a Steam sale for a few dollars and got them for the nostalgia. I played through Alibi in Ashes and was engrossed by The Scoop, an ice cream shop in the game where you can select different kinds of milkshakes, ice cream, or sodas. I spent more time than I would like to admit ordering different options from the menu to see them in game. I wanted to recreate some of the flavors from the game so I started with the Strawberry Breeze shake since some of the other offerings seemed crazy like the Moon Chunk cheese-flavored ice cream. Following the description on the board, I used strawberry ice cream, strawberries, and some milk for the base. The shake is topped off with whipped cream and additional strawberries.
