Chill your glasses in the freezer first, preferably for 20-30 minutes.
Scoop the ice cream into your blender, then pour in 1 1/2 cans of the ginger ale.
Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Only add the rest of the ginger ale if the mixture is too thick to blend.
Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Makes 4 adult-sized milkshakes, or 8 child-sized milkshakes.
Notes: For a "float" scoop vanilla ice cream into a glass and pour the ginger ale over the ice cream. For a drink that's not as thick as a milkshake, simply blend less ice cream with more ginger ale.
