Ice cream with alcohol sounds like the perfect summer combo--creamy icecream and the kick of an alcoholic drink. It's also easy to make. All you need to make this drink is some ice and some alcohol.
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 and LDN is a member of Fitter Living's advisory board. Fitter Living provides a free resource to promote healthy lifestyles. Most boozy creams won’t have the consistency or icy texture of beer but will be scoopable.
These icecream drinks can be served individually or as a basis for a luxurious dessert. The most popular drinks are the mudslide (ice cream with coffee liqueur); moose milk (a milkshake with chocolate-flavored vodka); and the boozy milkshake (ice cream spiked with vanilla-flavored vodka, and amaretto liquor).
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. This means that you can make frozen floats with almost any alcoholic beverage, such as vodka or tequila.
Start by adding a spoonful of your favorite frozen ice cream to an old-fashioned soda cup. Then, top it with a splash of soda water. Next, add about half a cup of your favorite alcoholic beverage to the ice cream. Stir gently until the foam rises.
A alcoholic float has more flavors and textures in one glass than a traditional cocktail. It's a great way for people to have a little sweetness without getting too sweet. Leo Piller is a soda jerk at San Francisco's The Ice Cream Bar. He recommends the Amaro Float which pairs a floral amaro and tropical fruit ice-cream.
This boozy float will delight both kids and adults! It's not too sweet but the citrusy orange soda will take you on a summer whirlwind.
The Frozen Brandy Alexander is an update on the classic gin and tonic, but it uses vanilla ice cream instead 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.

How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let it sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander.
