- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (2%)
- 11/2 tbsp bourbon

Notes
- You can go for full-fat yogurt instead of the 2% yogurt recommended in this recipe.
- Avoid using non-fat yogurt, as it may become difficult to scoop it after freezing.
- For a different flavor or if you are on a vegan diet, you can opt for coconut yogurt.
- You may additionally use vodka, pineapple, or lemon juice to enhance its taste.
- In place of half and half, you could use heavy cream, or if you want to keep it a little lighter, just mix equal parts heavy cream and whole milk.
