Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 2 oz Irish whiskey
  • 3 oz Guinness Stout
  • 23 dashes Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters

Dairy

  • 23 scoops chocolate ice cream

Garnish

  • 1 sprig mint

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Select a tall glass or beer mug and chill it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to keep the float cold longer.
  2. Add chocolate ice cream: Place 2 to 3 generous scoops of chocolate ice cream into the chilled glass, providing a creamy base for the float.
  3. Add Irish whiskey: Pour 2 ounces of Irish whiskey over the ice cream, allowing the flavors to blend gradually.
  4. Add chocolate bitters: Dash 2 to 3 drops of Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters on top to enhance the chocolate profile and add complexity to the float.
  5. Pour Guinness Stout: Slowly pour 3 ounces of Guinness Stout over the ice cream and whiskey mixture to create a layered effect and prevent too much foam.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint on top for a refreshing aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately with a spoon and straw for a delightful sipping and scooping experience.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate ice cream for the best flavor balance with the stout and whiskey.
  • Pour the stout slowly to minimize foam overflow.
  • Mint garnish adds aroma but is optional; you can replace with chocolate shavings or leave plain.
  • Adjust the whiskey amount based on your preference for strength.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to prevent the ice cream from melting too much.
