Adults only! Angry Orchard cider, Fireball, and vanilla ice cream – plus a Cinnamon Toast Crunch rim – combine to form a refreshing ice cream float dessert.
If ever there were a dessert to define summer, ice cream would be it. Yet while the creamy treat is a delight on its own, it’s even better when scooped into banana splits, slathered with hot fudge in sundaes, and swirled with soda in ice cream floats.
That’s why we’re more than a little obsessed with Angry Orchard’s boozy riff on the soda fountain classic. Instead of using root beer for its float recipe, the Walden orchard and cidery swaps in its Crisp Apple cider and a sizzling shot of Fireball.
Sound incredible? Wait until you nibble on the Cinnamon Toast Crunch rim before taking a sip.
