A delightful fusion of rich chocolate and zesty ginger beer, this float combines creamy chocolate ice cream with the sparkling, spicy kick of ginger beer for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Steps

  1. Pour the ginger beer into a tall glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  2. Add the chocolate syrup to the ginger beer and stir gently to combine.
  3. Carefully add two scoops of chocolate ice cream on top of the ginger beer.
  4. Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
  5. Serve immediately with a spoon and a straw.

Tips for Chocolate Ginger Beer Float

  • Chill the glass and ginger beer beforehand to help the float stay fizzy longer.
  • A vigorous stir can flatten the ginger beer; gentle mixing preserves more bubbles.
  • Use a tall glass with extra room, since the ice cream can make the drink foam up.

Storage

This float is best enjoyed immediately; it does not keep well once the ice cream melts and the ginger beer loses its fizz. Keep any unopened ingredients refrigerated or frozen as directed on their packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this ahead?

It takes only a few minutes to assemble, and it is best made just before serving so the ginger beer stays fizzy and the ice cream holds its shape.

Why does the float foam up?

The bubbles in ginger beer rise around the ice cream and can create foam. A roomy glass helps prevent spills.

Do I need a special glass?

No. A tall, sturdy glass with enough space for the foam works well; serve with both a spoon and a straw.
