New Irish American Dessert Cocktail! Sort of...

So I took the time to take a picture of this sexy boozy excuse for putting alcohol and dessert in a glass together, and I thought it at least deserved a shout on cookingDADA. But, shhhh, don't tell it that it didn't make it onto the finals list of the Decadent Dessert Cocktail Recipes article.

But here it is for you! We could collectively name it. How about a Mint Rootbeer Float? That's not entirely conclusive though, so maybe an Irish Mint Float (for the Bailey's part, Irish, see?) But that doesn't include the distinctly American Kentucky bourbon so maybe the Irish-American Mint Chocolate Chip Float. Whew. Get your mouth around that.

So what's in it?!? 

-1 1/2 oz. Kentucky bourbon

-1 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream

-1/2 tspn. Vanilla extract

-Several scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream

-Root beer!

Alright, you're thinking that sounds fucking fantastic! Or maybe, wtf? Mint and rootbeer? Loser. Or maybe, what's with the damn orange? Nothing really. I just thought it looked better than a fish and and several oranges:

You may be wondering why this reject of a dessert cocktail is featured here on cookingDADA if isn't delightfully tasty. Well I didn't say it was BAD bad. I drank it. Quickly too. It was a study in flavor recognition. 

What am I tasting? Is that mint, rootbeer? What is happening in my mouth right now? Take another drink and learn, the brain would say. 

Soon it had reached that succulent stage of rootbeerfloatism when all the flavors had melded into one subtly carbonated thick milkshake that was pumped into my belly by the vaccuuminous power of my sucking engine. Wow. That sounds really odd, and no, I don't think vaccuminous is an actual word. 

Google says...nope. Your search did not match any documents. 

Whatever. I think it's time you found out about this Irish-American Mint Chocolate Chip Float yourself. Go on. It's a mystery, drink it. Really. Tell them I said it's O. K.
