Guinness Float
Ice cream floats are the best! Whether it’s a root beer float, ginger ale float, coke float, they are all so tasty. Have you ever tried making one with beer though? Now it may sound kind of crazy but trust me, IT WORKS! For this recipe, I used Guinness so it was a nice and dark stout beer that felt like it was made to have a big scoop of vanilla ice cream in it.
The cool thing about Guinness floats is that you can really make them all year or you can have one on St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate because it’s got some Irish beer in it! I personally don’t care what season it is, I love making Guinness floats all year round!
This recipe is super simple but you can make your own variations on it by using different ice cream flavors. I’ve tried it before with a bit of caramel sauce on top and coffee ice cream in it and it was so tasty.
