Ice cream with alcohol sounds like the perfect summer combo--creamy icecream and the kick of an alcoholic drink. It's also easy to make. All you need is some ice, alcohol, and a shaker or blender.
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. Milkshakes, cocktails (ice cream mixed with alcohol), alcoholic drinks slushies and popsicles are the most popular types of boozy ice-cream recipes. But there are many others.

Amanda A. Kostro Miller RD LDN, RD, LDN, is a Fitter Living advisory board member. Fitter Living is a free resource that encourages healthy lifestyles. 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 can be used as individual treats, or as the base for a rich dessert. Several of the most popular drinks include the mudslide, an ice cream topped with coffee liqueur; moose milk, a milkshake with chocolate-flavored vodka; and the boozy shortcake milkshake, which is spiked with vanilla-flavored vodka and amaretto liqueur.
Fruity Floats Served with Alcohol
The humble ice cream float may be old hat, but its popularity has only grown over the years as people began to discover that liquor freezes much more easily than beer or wine. The result is that a frozen float can be made with nearly 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. Pour about a quarter of an ounce or more of your chosen alcoholic drink over the icecream and stir gently until it bubbles.
An alcoholic beverage float is more complex than a traditional cocktail. Leo Piller is a soda jerk at San Francisco's The Ice Cream Bar. He recommends the Amaro Float which pairs a floral amaro and tropical fruit ice-cream.
This boozy beverage is sure delight to both adults and children! It's not too sweet, but the citrusy orange soda is enough to take your mouth on a tangy summer whirlwind.
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 eggs was used to create the frothy drink. But, nowadays, a quick mix of vanilla cream and brandy is all that's needed to make this icy treat.
