Stout Nightcap Float

NA stout and vanilla ice cream make this a dessert rather than a light refresher. The roasted malt can bring a coffee-like or chocolatey contrast to the sweet scoop, depending on your beer. Leave plenty of space in the glass and pour slowly: foam rises quickly when beer meets ice cream. As it melts, the drink becomes creamier and sweeter, so there’s something enjoyable about taking your time with both spoon and glass.

Ingredients

• 6 oz NA stout
• 1 small scoop Vanilla ice cream

Make it

1. Place the ice cream in a tall glass.
2. Slowly pour the NA stout down the side of the glass.
3. Let the foam settle, then serve with a spoon.

Benefits

NA stout and vanilla · keep the flavor ritual

The NA stout and vanilla combination gives you a dark, roasted malt flavor in a mixed drink built around its own flavors, keeping the familiar act of mixing and pouring while changing what goes into the glass.

Let vanilla bring the interest

The NA stout carries a sweet-smelling vanilla aroma from vanilla; use the listed amounts to enjoy the balance between those flavors, then adjust to your taste.

Check every NA product’s ABV. Choose clearly labeled 0.0% ingredients if you want to avoid trace alcohol.
