Amanda A. Kostro Miller RD, LDN serves as an advisory board member for Fitter Living. This free resource promotes healthy lifestyles and encourages the use of alcoholic ice-cream drinks. Most boozy creams won’t have the consistency or icy texture of beer but will be scoopable.
These icecream drinks can be served individually or as a basis for a luxurious dessert. The most popular drinks are the mudslide (ice cream with coffee liqueur); moose milk (a milkshake with chocolate-flavored vodka); and the boozy milkshake (ice cream spiked with vanilla-flavored vodka, and amaretto liquor).
Fruity Floats with Alcohol
Although the humble ice cream float is old-fashioned, its popularity has grown as people discovered that liquor freezes more quickly than beer and wine. This means that you can make frozen floats with almost any alcoholic beverage, such as vodka or tequila.
Make sure to add a scoop of your favorite cream to an old-fashioned soda glasses. Top it with a small amount soda water. Pour about a quarter of an ounce or more of your chosen alcoholic drink over the icecream and stir gently until it bubbles.
A alcoholic cocktail float will contain more flavors and textures per glass than traditional cocktails, making it an excellent way to get a little extra sweetness in your drink. Leo Piller is a soda jerk at San Francisco's The Ice Cream Bar. He recommends the Amaro Float which pairs a floral amaro and tropical fruit ice-cream.
This boozy beverage is sure delight to both adults and children! It's not too sweet but the citrusy orange soda will take you on a summer whirlwind.
Frozen Brandy Alexander, a variation on the classic Gin and Tonic, uses vanilla ice cream in place of gin. Traditionally, a whipped eggs was used to create the frothy drink. But, nowadays, a quick mix of vanilla cream and brandy is all that's needed to make this icy treat.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
