Here’s How to Make a Bourbon Raspberry Float

Perhaps the only way to enjoy a solid, well-crafted bourbon, other than neat, is to pour it over a frothing glass of raspberry-doused cherry ice cream. At least, that’s the conclusion we came to when we concocted these Bourbon Raspberry Floats.

Last week, the good folks over at Knob Creek sent over a few bottles of Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon and Rye Whiskey. While the latter went down our gullets like fire, the former had a nice, chocolate warmth to it. After finishing off a couple shots of the stuff, here’s looking at you Rudy, we decided the liquor would make a great boozy treat on a Friday afternoon. Thus, the Bourbon Raspberry Float was born.

Knob Creek’s bourbon packs a punch at 120 proof and is bottled at cask strength; so depending on your palate, feel free to add more or less of the spirit to your float. The recipe as a whole compliments the  bourbon’s sweet vanilla and caramel flavors, while still keeping its bold aroma.
