Guinness Ice Cream Float

This post is four days in lieu of St. Patrick's day...it's better late than never right? Although, to be fair, the bottle shops were totally sold out of Guinness until yesterday and so I couldn't have done this post prior.

Plus, I spent the day in Hyde Park drinking the Guinness that was on tap at the St Patrick's day celebrations. I saw sandwiches with black pudding and a fried egg on top which I really wanted to try but the queue was way too long. I settled instead for a German Bratwurst smothered in Sauerkraut and mustard. I don't think the organisers could find many Irish food vendors here in Sydney since I saw mostly Chinese, German, and Turkish cuisine. The energy of the place however, was just buzzing...thanks in part to a band called Good & Lively, and some traditional Irish dancers.

So with the halt in the St Patrick's day celebrations and a restocking of Sydney's Guinness supplies, I am finally able to bring to you the Guinness Float. This drink is so velvety and creamy I cannot believe it's just Guinness and ice cream. All that is needed is to place a scoop of vanilla ice cream by Bulla into a glass of Guinness and top it with a twist of lime peel.
