Created by Maryanne Cabrera at the food blog The Little Epicurean, the boozy whiskey and stout ice cream float is even appropriate for Halloween, and pairs perfectly with a number of autumnal desserts. The float recipe includes homemade [whiskey-flavored ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-scoop-kraken-ship-wrecked), which is made out of whole cream, your preferred whiskey brand, sea salt, heavy cream, egg yolks and dark brown sugar. There is also a dark chocolate syrup made from scratch, consisting of water, vanilla paste or extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, sea salt, light corn syrup, instant espresso powder and granulated sugar. Other components this float recipe calls for include [Irish cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baileys-extra-thick-chocolate-cream), bourbon and [chilled stout beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ballycastle-stout) (like Guinness). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Boozy Dessert Beverages:** Incorporate alcohol into sweet treats for a unique and elevated flavor experience. - **Homemade Ice Cream:** Creating homemade ice cream allows for customization and experimentation with unique flavor combinations. - **DIY Flavor Syrups:** Making your own flavor syrups allows for more control over the ingredients and can result in more unique and customizable flavors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcohol Industry:** Partner with dessert or ice cream companies to create new and innovative alcoholic beverages. - **Dessert Industry:** Experiment with incorporating alcoholic ingredients into desserts to create unique and sophisticated flavors. - **Kitchen Appliance Industry:** Create innovative kitchen appliances designed for creating homemade ice cream and flavor syrups to make the process easier and more accessible for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Boozy Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-and-wine.md) - [Whiskey-Infused Coffee Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-infused-coffee-stout.md) - [Hard Seltzer-Infused Floats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-cola-ice-cream-float.md) - [Stout-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovely-day-for-a-guinness-ice-cream.md) - [Boozy Ice Creameries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-creamery.md) - [Delicious Whiskey-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskeyinfused-ice-cream.md) - [Candied Whiskey Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graeters-bourbon-ball.md) - [Ice Cream-Inspired Stout Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-x-mackies-of-scotland.md) - [Soda-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-float-ice-cream.md)
