Chef's Notes
- For a colder drink, chill the malta and malt beverage beforehand.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with coconut cream and skip the whipped cream topping.
- This drink can be made ahead of time (without ice) and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just blend with ice when ready to serve.
- Experiment with different malt beverage flavors for variety.
