It sounds like the ideal summer combination: ice cream and alcohol. It's very simple to make. You only need ice, alcohol, and either a shaker, blender, or a spoon.
Boozy desserts are popping up all over the nation. They pair well with a variety spirits, from vodka to brandy and rum. There are several popular boozy desserts such as milkshakes, cocktails (icecream blended with alcohol), alcoholic popsicles and alcoholic-slushies.
Ice Cream Drinks
Amanda A. Kostro Miller RD LDN, RD, LDN, is a Fitter Living advisory board member. Fitter Living is a free resource that encourages healthy lifestyles. This means that most boozy desserts won't be as icy or thick as beer-flavored, but will be easily scoopable and tasty.
These ice-cream drinks can be used as individual treats, or as the base for a rich dessert. The most well-known drinks include the mudslide which includes ice cream with coffee liquor; the moosemilk, which contains chocolate-flavored vodka in a milkshake; and the boozy-shortcake milkshake, which has vanilla-flavored vodka and amaretto alcohol.
Fruity Floats with Alcohol
The humble icecream float is a classic, but its popularity has only increased over time as people learned that liquor freezes better than beer and wines. The result is that a frozen float can be made with nearly any alcoholic beverage, including vodka and tequila.
You can make the perfect float by adding one scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream into an old-fashioned soda container. Add a small amount water to top it. After that, pour about half an ounce of your preferred alcoholic beverage on top and stir until the ice cream bubbles.
An alcoholic float will have more textures and flavors in a single glass than a traditional cocktail, so it's a great way to enjoy a little extra sweetness without going overboard. Leo Piller, soda jerk and lead bartender at San Francisco's The Ice Cream Bar, recommends the Amaro Float, which pairs a floral amaro with tropical fruit ice cream.
This boozy float is sure to delight kids and adults alike! It's not too sweet, but the citrusy orange soda is enough to take your mouth on a tangy summer whirlwind.
Frozen Brandy Alexander, a variation on the classic Gin and Tonic, uses vanilla ice cream in place of gin. Traditionally, a whipped egg was used for the creation of a frothy cocktail. However, today, all that is needed to create this icy treat is vanilla icecream and a splash or brandy.
