Martha Stewart Living, March 2008
This Saint Patrick's Day, enjoy a cocktail version of a root
beer float: vanilla ice cream topped with Irish stout. With the ice
cream sweetening the rich beer, the float is as much a dessert as it is a
drink. Scoop ice cream into a pint glass, and pour in enough stout to
fill it. One pint of ice cream and one 12-ounce bottle of beer will
yield 2 servings.
