Best 7 Irish Whiskey Float Recipes

IRISH WHISKEY FLOAT

Steps:

• Place ice cream in a tall glass; top with cola and whiskey. Serve immediately.

GUINNESS FLOATS WITH WHISKEY WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, whiskey and sugar in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Taste it, then fold in more whiskey if you want!
• Divide the ice cream between 2 chilled glasses, then very slowly pour the Guinness into each. (Be careful -- it will bubble over if you pour too fast!) Serve with the whiskey whipped cream.

GUINNESS FLOAT

Steps:

• Make the ice cream: Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Bring the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla pod and seeds to a simmer in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk the hot liquid into the egg mixture; strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, then set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water. Add the Irish cream and whiskey and stir until cool. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
• For each float, put a scoop of the ice cream in a glass. Add the chocolate bitters and top with the Guinness. If you don't have an ice cream maker, fold Baileys Irish Cream and whiskey into softened vanilla ice cream and freeze until firm.

BOOZY IRISH WHISKEY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 6 mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, pudding mixes, and 1/2 cup walnuts in a large bowl.
• Whisk 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, milk, and oil together in a separate bowl. Whisk in eggs. Pour over cake mixture and stir until blended. Divide batter among the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in brown sugar. Add remaining walnuts, 1 tablespoon whiskey, and water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining whiskey.
• Cool cakes for 5 minutes before inverting a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Use a toothpick to poke small holes across the tops. Pour whiskey topping over cakes and leave to soak in as they cool.

IRISH WHISKEY OLD FASHIONED

Steps:

• Put everything except the lemon zest in a tumbler and give it a quick stir to combine and dilute. Garnish with the lemon zest to serve.

HOT IRISH WHISKEY

Steps:

• Press cloves into the peel of the lemon slice all the way around. Set aside. Measure the sugar into a wine glass. Place a metal spoon into the glass with the curved side facing upwards. Pour the boiling water over the back of the spoon. This will keep your wine glass from shattering. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour in the whiskey and add the lemon slice. Let steep for about 1 minute before drinking.

IRISH COFFEE

Steps:

• Lightly whip the cream just so it's very slightly thickened, then set aside.
• Pour the hot coffee into a mug or heatproof glass, then add the whiskey and sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Gently float the cream on the top and sprinkle the nutmeg over the cream. Serve hot.
