Eat*Drink*Cleveland

A hungry girl's adventures in Cleveland and beyond.

One of my favorite drinks is an ice cream float. The mixture of soda and creamy ice cream is irresistible and tastes like summer in a glass.

From the first time I tried a Mind Eraser, I knew it would make a delicious float for my KahlĂșa® Cocktail Series. The best part about it is that you can customize it to make it your perfect sip.

We were just in Sonoma and there were gorgeous strawberries everywhere! This cocktail captures that summery flavor and will have you thinking of cookouts and drinks on the deck.

I loved the strawberry flavor but another personal favorite was the vanilla ice cream and vanilla soda combo with extra strawberries for dipping into the drink - simple but soooooo yummy! Coconut ice cream is another great option.

But you can go as crazy as you want - the options are endless. If you want some added texture, use a chunky ice cream like chocolate almond or rocky road. Customize the garnish for you combination - maybe maraschino cherries, a banana slice or chopped nuts are more your style. 

What combo will you try?
