When Burgers and More by Emeril first opened, one of the team members suggested mixing liquor with the milkshakes. “After trying a few combinations and realizing how incredible boozy milkshakes tasted, we ran with the idea and our guests loved it,” says Lysa Yarko, manager of Burgers and More by Emeril at the Sands. While Yarko says that Baileys Irish Cream liqueur and chocolate ice cream is the most popular boozy combination, there is no real limit to how inventive customers can make their shakes. “Our guests are very creative,” she says. “Some will mix Malibu rum with fresh pineapple, banana and vanilla for a tasty tropical treat.”
When it comes to pairing your milkshake with the perfect dish, Yarko, obviously, says that a burger is the way to go. Ask about their current Burger of the Month—at press time, it was the Bayou Burger, which starts with a cheddar-jalapeño bun, andouille sausage and fried pickled okra, slathered with other delicious toppings. In addition to the burger specials, Burgers and More by Emeril also features a fresh boozy milkshake each month for guests to slurp.
Not feeling a boozy milkshake? Yarko suggests the Tipsy Tea—mandarin vodka mixed with iced tea and lemonade—which she calls “pure summer in a glass.”
