What To Serve With It
Because this Chocolate Ice Cream Float Cocktail is so rich and decadent, I like to balance it out with something a little lighter or slightly savory.
A plate of crispy, salty pretzels or a charcuterie board with cheese and crackers works perfectly as savory snacks.
If I’m in the mood for something sweet, I’ll pair it with mini fruit tarts or a light angel food cake—sweet desserts that don’t overpower the cocktail’s flavor.
Sometimes, I’ll even add a bowl of fresh berries for a invigorating contrast.
It’s all about creating a mix that feels just right!
