Kahlua Float

New Years Eve is already upon us!

Kahlua Float

I feel like everyone I know seems to be staying in this year. Maybe a few friends or another family are coming over to eat and drink and celebrate, but pretty low-key for the most part.

Kahlua Float

What are you guys doing?

I figured that even if you have quite the list of appetizers ready to make, you might be looking for some fun new drink ideas?

Kahlua Float

Inspiration struck through this incredible espresso ice cream from a local artisanal ice cream brand.

Kahlua Float

Rich Kahlua and dry champagne create a creamy (but not overly sweet!) and frothy cocktail that is totally reminiscent of a float.

The chocolate rim is not only a great compliment to the coffee, it’s also festive and pretty cute, right?

Kahlua Float

If you really wanted to get craaaazy, I would throw in a splash of cream. Mmmm…

Kahlua Float, serves 1
1 tsp corn syrup
1 Tbs chocolate jimmies

For the candy rim:
In a small dish, pour the tsp of corn syrup, gently roll the rim of a champagne glass into the corn syrup.
