Not for Kids Summer Dessert: Cherry Lambic Ice Cream Float

When I saw this recipe for Cherry Lambic Ice Cream Float on The Kitchn yesterday, it was as if my long-time childhood favorite finally became an adult!  It is still sweet as can be for a float, but the booze content adds a certain taste of sophistication.

This will be a hit amongst the adults and also, a new inspiration for experimenting with other fine brews (try a dark coffee roast stout like Lagunita’s Cappuccino Stoat for a rich and frothy float).  Also, we couldn’t help but notice The Kitchn served their floats in French ‘Amelie’ glasses!  For the full service, follow the recipe below and then shop our ‘Amelie’ Collection for more colors and sizes.
