If you add too much alcohol you'll prevent your mixture from properly freezing. David Leibowitz, author of "The Perfect Scoop" recommends no more than 45ml of 80 proof liquor per 1 liter of ice cream mixture.

So just under a double shot of 40% abv spirit here in the uk per litre. You’re right, not that much is it.

That matches my experience too 3 tbsp of vanilla/mint extract makes a much creamier result
