The smoothness and body of a good oatmeal or milk stout goes exceptionally well with salted caramel ice cream. The foam produced from the reaction of the ice cream and beer creates a creamy first sip of this nostalgic treat. As the ice cream melts, the drink only gets better.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow to soften for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place 4 tall float glasses or glasses of your choosing in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the glasses from the freezer and place 2 to 3 scoops of ice cream into each. Add a Scotch shot to each, then top with beer until the glasses are full. Serve with long spoons or straws.
