Beer Float

Ingredients

Beer

Ice Cream

Directions

Pour Beer into a Beer Mug while leaving room
Scoop Ice Cream into the Beer Mug

A Beer Float is like a Root Beer Float, but with Beer. Adding the Beer first is pretty important, because if you pour it over the Ice Cream, the foam will get all hard and it will become difficult to continue adding beer. You can use whatever Beer you want, but a Porter or Stout works really well. Just be smart with what you use, because Cotton Candy Ice Cream might not taste great with a Double IPA.

Ramos Gin Fizz

Ingredients

2 oz.	Gin
.5 oz.	Lemon Juice
.5 oz.	Lime Juice
.75 oz.	Simple Syrup
1 oz.	Cream
.5 oz.	Egg White
3 Dashes	Orange Blossom Water
To Top	Soda Water

Directions

Combine the Gin, Citrus Juice, Cream, Egg White, Orange Blossom Water and Simple Syrup in a Cocktail Shaker
Dry Shake vigorously for 30 Seconds
Add Ice to the Shaker
Wet Shake for 10 Minutes or until the Ice is Gone
Pour into a Collins Glass and let sit for 2 Minutes
Pour Soda Water in the Center of the Top until the Foam is about to Fall Over
Stick a Straw where you Poured the Soda Water

The Ramos Gin Fizz is a riff on the Gin Fizz, thought it barely resembles it. It was invented in 1888 by Henry Charles Ramos at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon in New Orleans, Louisiana. This Cocktail is a pain in the butt to make, so I wouldn’t recommend ordering it at a Bar unless it is on the menu. It was so popular, and such a chore to make, that Ramos apparently had a whole staff of “Shaker Men” constantly shaking this Drink. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

The Beach Towel is a delicious two layered blended Daiquiri. If you want an even more tropical drink, Coconut Rum in place of the White Rum would not be out of place in this Cocktail. The Cocktail is very similar in look to the Miami Vice and Lava Flow.
