Salted Caramel Guinness Floats

Easy cocktails are just the ticket for get togethers with friends or to enjoy for a relaxing weekend. If you haven’t ever tried a Guinness float, you are sure to be skeptical. I know I was! Let me assure you, this one’s a keeper!

I know you must be thinking that I’ve gone completely crazy mixing beer and ice cream. I will say this is not a Bud Light ice cream float. You are going to want to pick up some Guinness Extra Stout to make these tasty floats.

Guinness is a dark Irish beer that has coffee and malt undertones, which make it the perfect compliment to either vanilla or chocolate ice cream. A delicious cocktail for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you are craving a sweet cocktail.

Tips for Making Dessert Cocktails:

I used homemade salted caramel sauce for these floats. You can also use ice cream topping or dulce de leche thinned down with a little bit of milk or cream. 

I used my cookie scoop for the ice cream in these floats. It works great and the smaller scoops mix in with the float a little better. 

If you don’t have flake salt, coarse salt, kosher salt or pink Himalayan salt will work just fine.
