Tasty floats with an Adult beverage twist.

[Katman1356...Jason 1,140]

In perusing the web today I found some recipes that involved the idea of the float we all loved as kids and the alchohol we all love now. :-) I figured I would share them here. Remember these are not for kids (unless they won't go to sleep, hehehe.)

This one is from http://www.bakersroy...ee-beer-floats/

Boozy Biscoff Beer Floats

Ingredients:

• 1 half gallon Dreyer’s Slow Churned ice cream
  
• 3/4 cup Biscoff spread
  
• 22 oz. chocolate Porter beer
  

Instructions:

• Soften ice cream and fold in Biscoff spread until combined. Place ice cream mixture back in freezer until hard.
  
• Scoop ice cream into glasses and pour desired amount of chocolate Porter beer over ice cream.
  

ETA I have included the links to where I found these recipes as a way of crediting the inviduals responsible for these. If I need to make any edits to these postings I assume someone with more practice at it than me will let me know.

For this next one I am going to post the link to it because it looks kind of complicated. I will attempt to simplify it later and update if I am able.

These could get me in big trouble!

These are great, Jason - thanks! I smell a Fort Fiends Float Festival in the making.

And last but not least is Limoncello Ice Cream floats. With Limoncello and Champagne how could it go wrong.

Indeed! Limoncello is one of my all time favorites. There's almost always a bottle in the fridge and it goes great with just some good lemon soda. I'd imagine it's awesome with champagne.

And even though it sounds like a frou-frou drink, that stuff packs a wallop. It varies by brand, but most of them are anywhere from 70-80 proof!
