Why You’ll Love this Limoncello Ice Cream Float<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been a fan of ice cream floats. The many decisions involved (ice cream first, soda first, or everything together; use the spoon or the straw; mix the ice cream up to make it melt or let big chunks float on top) make ice cream floats an event<\/strong>, not just another liquid in a glass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a kid, my favorite ice cream floats were made with a combination of vanilla cream soda with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. If you’ve never tried it, you must!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don’t we see adult floats more often?<\/em> Bar menus often feature boozy shakes<\/strong> and frozen drinks, but floats are few and far between. That’s why I decided to make this one myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make a Limoncello Float<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I based the bubbly limoncello drink on the recipe for a Limoncello Sparkle Cocktail originally found on the now-defunct FabFood. The only major change that I made to the drink portion was to switch out the Cointreau for Grand Marnier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Combine limoncello<\/strong> and Grand Marnier<\/strong> in a tall glass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Fill the rest of the glass with champagne<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream<\/strong> and enjoy. It’s that simple!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
