Time for a Guinness… a Guinness float! This St. Patrick’s Day, Get drunk and fat at the same time. This is the first year I will be missing out on The St. Patty’s Open… a round of golf dressed like a leprechaun including heavy drinking… Sorry, Mike. And sorry reader, I digress.
Here are three super easy Guinness cocktail float recipes to get your Irish on.
The Guinness Ice Cream Float
The simple method
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 1 pint/can of Guinness
Scoop the ice cream into a frosty beer mug. Pour on the Guinness!
Caffeine and chocolate version
This time, drizzle some chocolate into that there frosty mug. Add espresso ice cream (or better, bailey’s ice cream and a shot of espresso) and fill with Guinness.
The Velvet Glove
This is my FAVORITE Guinness cocktail. 1 part champagne and 2 parts Guinness. Layer it baby.
The Black Velvet
Guinness and Cider.
The Black and Tan
Guinness and a lighter beer. I like using pale ale.
