BEER FLOATS

Depending on whom you talk to, making ice cream floats with beer is either a genius idea, or a horrible mistake. The key is to choose a beer that's on the toasty, malty, sweeter side, and stay away from beers that are too hoppy, dry, and bitter. Here I pair coffee ice cream with stout and vanilla, the safest option, with a Belgian raspberry sour (or any fruity beer). I'd make a small test glass first, to make sure it works for your palate.

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup root beer (or other soda)
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Make sure that your ingredients are ice cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beer: Use a light or amber beer for a refreshing float, or a dark beer for a richer flavor. Avoid using a beer that is too hoppy or bitter.
  • Keep it cold: The beer and ice cream should be cold before you make the float. This will help to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • Use good quality ice cream: The type of ice cream you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your float. Choose a flavor that you enjoy and that pairs well with the beer you are using.
  • Don't overfill the glass: Leave some room at the top of the glass so that the float doesn't overflow when you stir it.
  • Add toppings: Feel free to add toppings to your float, such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or sprinkles. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Beer floats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a refreshing and flavorful float that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a fun and unique dessert, give a beer float a try.
