Gin may not be the first spirit that comes to mind for a boozy milkshake, but sweet blueberries and herbal gin are a perfect match, making for a boozy shake that is slightly more sophisticated.

Note: Grade B maple syrup is preferable here because of its deeper maple flavor. Let the ice cream sit out at room temperature until easily scoopable, about 5 minutes.
