Hi @piugelatogelateriagmail-com

You left us the same question in the Spanish forum.

I also answer you here.
Alcoholic beverages mainly contain ethanol, a colorless alcohol miscible in water in any proportion. Its main effect on ice cream is the lowering of the freezing temperature (PAC).Based on this information, you probably already imagine that alcoholic ice cream recipes are difficult to make. First, because with little alcohol the ice cream becomes too soft to serve in a display case (PAC < -14). And second, because alcohol destabilizes the ice cream mixture, causing it to thaw more quickly.

Conclusion: ice cream with alcohol can be kept for a maximum of 1 day in the display case, and 3 to 5 days in the freezer, without perceiving major deficits in the final quality.

If the process of making ice cream with alcohol seems too complicated for you, I suggest two good alternatives:
Soft Ice Cream: with alcohol: it is made at the moment and in this case the alcohol does not affect the structure of the ice cream. Here you must take into account the PAC and do not go below -14.

Ice cream with essences of alcoholic beverages: ice cream does not contain alcohol, so the flavor is achieved thanks to the essence. It is not the same, but it is an option for those who want to enjoy a non-alcoholic ice cream with the flavor of a daiquiri, a mojito or a piña colada.

For a liquor of approximately 20 degrees you can use 120 grams for each liter of mixture. Of course it must be compensated by using sugars with low PAC and adding some type of solid. In ice cream, maltodextrin is used, as the graduation increases, we must lower the amount in the ice cream. There is no fixed standard, but you can try different combinations and quantities.

I would suggest you do a little test and see the results for yourself.

I leave you the link to a formula calculator and there you can enter the ingredients that make up your recipe so you can formulate your ice cream.
