6 tablespoons coffee liqueur
6 tablespoons irish cream
chocolate shavings

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe fruit and high-quality ice cream will make all the difference in the taste of your Irish Float.
  • Don't skimp on the Guinness: Guinness is the star of the show, so use a good quality stout. Guinness Draught or Guinness Extra Stout are both good choices.
  • Let the Guinness settle: After pouring the Guinness into the glass, let it settle for a minute or two before adding the ice cream. This will help to prevent the Guinness from curdling.
  • Use a large glass: An Irish Float is a tall drink, so make sure you use a glass that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • Garnish with a cherry or whipped cream: A cherry or whipped cream is a classic garnish for an Irish Float. It adds a touch of sweetness and festivity.

The Irish Float is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion.
