It sounds like the ideal summer combination: ice cream and alcohol. It's also easy to make. You only need ice, alcohol, and either a shaker, blender, or a spoon.
Boozy-flavored ice cream is growing in popularity across the country. This sweet treat can be paired with a range of spirits, from brandy to vodka. Some of the most popular boozy ice cream recipes are milkshakes or cocktails (ice cream blended with alcohol), alcoholic slushies, and popsicles--but there are some that don't fall into any of these categories.
Ice cream drinks
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. The majority of boozy icecreams won't have an icy texture or consistency like beer, but they will be scoopable and delicious.
These ice cream drinks are great for individual desserts or as a base for a decadent dessert. A few of the most loved drinks are: the mudslide, ice cream that is topped with coffee, the moosemilk with chocolate-flavored vodka, and the boozy quickcake milkshake which is spiked in vanilla-flavored vodka with amaretto.
Fruity Floats with Alcohol
Although the humble ice-cream float may be old-fashioned now, its popularity only grew as people realized that liquor freezes faster than beer or wine. It is possible to make frozen floats from almost any alcoholic beverage including vodka and 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. You can then pour about a half-ounce your chosen alcoholic beverages over the icecream, and stir it until it foams up.
An alcoholic float will have more textures and flavors in a single glass than a traditional cocktail, so it's a great way to enjoy a little extra sweetness without going overboard. Leo Piller (soda jerk, lead bartender at San Francisco’s The Ice Cream Bar) recommends The Amaro Float. It pairs a floral amaro ice cream with tropical fruit icecream.
This boozy float is guaranteed to please both children and adults. It's not sweet, but the citrusy orange soda can take you on an unforgettable summer ride.
The Frozen Brandy Alexander is an update on the classic gin and tonic, but it uses vanilla ice cream instead of gin. Traditionally, a whipped egg was used for the creation of a frothy cocktail. However, today, all that is needed to create this icy treat is vanilla icecream and a splash or brandy.

How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add ice cubes. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. The original recipe dates back to 1921, when it was known as the Four Deuces. It contained two measures each of whisky and rye, along with two measures each of gin. The original recipe is still loved by bartenders, drinkers, and even chefs.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be equally effective. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
