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.

2 oz.	Gosling’s Black Seal Rum (Dark Rum)
.5 oz.	Lime Juice
3 oz.	Ginger Beer
Garnish	Lime Wheel

Combine the Ginger Beer and Lime Juice in a Highball Glass over Ice

The Dark ‘n’ Stormy was invented a long time ago in an Island in the Atlantic Ocean. In a similar fashion to Pusser’s with the Painkiller, despite not inventing the Cocktail, Gosling’s trademarked the name Dark ‘n’ Stormy so that it has to be made with Gosling’s Rum. If you make it with a different Rum, it is not a Dark ‘n’ Stormy. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.

Directions

Combine the Peach Schnapps and Orange Juice in a Highball Glass over Ice
Stir till Combined
Garnish with an Orange Slice and Straw

The Fuzzy Navel was invented in the 1980’s by Bartender Ray Foley in New Jersey. The name comes from the the fact that Peaches has fuzz on the outside and Navel is a type of Orange. If you substitute half of the Peach Schnapps for Vodka, it becomes a Harry Navel. The drink is very sweet, so adding the Vodka and making it more like a Screwdriver might be in some peoples best interest.
