Boozy Milkshakes

Back in my youth, my cousin and I used to enjoy a Guinness Float every now and then.  We used Guinness and Vanilla Ice Cream.  That tastes great and is easy enough to accomplish.

But after making my Irish Cream Ice Cream, I knew it would be perfect for Guinness Floats.

If you like Guinness and Liqueur . . . You will Love these floats!

Now I will warn you all.  These Guinness Floats have 3 stages.

Stage One:  That frothy float that we all know and love. {see top photo}

Stage Two:  The ice cream begins to separate and the concoction looks more like something you would find in a urinal at an Irish Pub. {see below video}

Stage Three:  Stir it up . . . Quick!  Then it becomes the creamy and delicious cocktail. {see above photo}

So, this video doesn’t really serve a purpose.  Obviously you all know how to make a float.  Add ice cream to liquid . . . done.

I am just starting to practice my movie-making skills.  A year from now hopefully I will be making some super awesome stop-action films and tutorial videos for you to enjoy.

Until then, enjoy my amateur flicks!. . . and these Guinness Floats.
