Alcoholic Floats
overall review score: 3.8
⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Alcoholic floats are creative beverages that combine classic ice cream or ice cream-like textures with alcoholic spirits or liqueurs. They typically consist of a scoop or layer of ice cream served in a glass or mug, topped with alcohol-infused syrups or directly mixed with spirits like whiskey, rum, or flavored liqueurs, resulting in a dessert-drink hybrid that offers both the indulgence of a float and the kick of alcohol.
