Boozy Boston Cooler

 
A few months back I saw a story on Saveur.com about the Midwestern ice cream classic - the Boston Cooler.  It is an incredibly simple recipe: a few scoops of vanilla ice cream topped with ginger ale, and voilà, you have a gingery ice cream float. This float is just as sweet and creamy as you remember from your childhood, but with the spicy ginger-ale that cuts right through all that sweetness.



Make this classic float a boozy float for your next ice cream social by using an alcoholic ginger beer such as Crabbie's, a trick that will make this sweet treat more spicy and higher octane.  For this recipe I used vanilla ice cream with Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer, but you could easily play with different combinations of flavors such as vanilla ice cream with Crabbie's Scottish Raspberry, lemon sorbet with the Original, or chocolate ice cream with Crabbie's Spiced Orange.   

The possibilities are endless...
