CAPTAIN MORGAN CHERRY VANILLA COLA FLOAT RECIPE BY TASTY



Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla Cola Float Recipe by Tasty image

This content is intended solely for users of legal drinking age. Drink responsibly.

Provided by Dylan Keith

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz frozen cherry
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup cherry juice
1 vanilla bean pod, seeds scraped
1 oz Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla Spiced Rum
½ cup cornflakes
1 cup white chocolate chip, melted
24 oz dark cola
3 oz Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla Spiced Rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Make the cherry vanilla syrup: Add the frozen cherries, maple syrup, cherry juice, and vanilla bean seeds to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the cherries are very soft. Using a potato masher or a fork, smash the cherries as much as possible. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes, until the syrup has reduced and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Strain the syrup into a small bowl and stir in the Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla Spiced Rum. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until the syrup is cold, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Make the white chocolate cornflake bark: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the cornflakes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Using a spoon, generously drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cornflakes in a single direction, making sure the cereal is almost, but not completely, covered. Freeze the bark until solid, at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Break the bark into playing card-sized pieces and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Make the cola float: Add 1½ ounces of Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla to each of 2 float glasses. Pour 12 ounces of cola into each glass, then top each with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with half of the cherry vanilla syrup. Garnish each float with a few pieces of cornflake bark and finish with the maraschino cherries. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups cherry cola, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 scoops fudge ripple ice cream
4 maraschino cherries
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Chill the cherry cola and place 4 mugs or glasses in the freezer to chill.
  • Once chilled, in a pitcher combine the cherry cola and vanilla extract.
  • Place two scoops of fudge ripple ice cream in each of four chilled glasses.
  • Pour the cola over the ice cream; top each float with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cherry cola. Not all cherry colas are created equal. For the best flavor, use a brand that you enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is the other star of this float, so don't skimp on quality. Use a brand that you love and that has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Chill the cherry cola and the ice cream before assembling the float. This will help to keep the float cold and prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • Garnish the float with a maraschino cherry. This is a classic touch that adds a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the float immediately. Cherry cola floats are best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Cherry cola floats are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet and fizzy treat, give cherry cola floats a try.
