A celebration-worthy dessert cocktail
Something about summer coming to an end and impending school year has me always reaching for quintessential summer treats in an attempt to slow the changing s seasons down a bit and enjoy a few more pleasures of summer while I still can.
In years past we’ve celebrated with root beer float movie nights and Back to School Floats and Friends Parties. But this year I hardly had time to buy new shoes for all the kids in time! Let alone invites friends over for a back to school party. So now that all the kids are back to school AND it’s my BIRTHDAY I’m celebrating with a Boozy Tropical Gelato Float.
These upscale floats are the perfect for celebrations! Complete with homemade with tropical-vibe-inducing mango and berry gelato plus a generous pour of champagne, or kombucha, depending on your mood.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberry gelato
- 1 cup mango gelato
- ½ bottle champagne or sparkling wine
Take it up a notch with homemade gelatos made from various fresh fruit. Use blueberry ice cream, raspberry swirl ice cream, blackberry swirl ice cream, strawberry swirl ice cream in this recipe. Or try a mixed berry ice cream combination of any or all fruits!
Step by step instructions
Making Tropical Gelato Floats is as easy as scooping gelato and topping with champagne, or any other sparkling beverage of your choice.
Make it a mocktail
I’m no stranger to soda-alternatives in ice cream floats and I love kombucha floats for so many reasons! The main reason being because of all the homemade bouch around my house. But, really it makes a great substitute for fizzy beverages in so many recipes! Kombucha is an amazing way to add acidity and fizz to all sorts of drinks! From floats to cocktails and mocktails,
For a striped multi-flavor float make one batch of gelato base then divide and mix in fresh fruit puree before churning. It’s a great make ahead dessert to wow your guests! Or to treat yourself while binging on your favorite show at midnight on the couch 😉
