Okay, so, confession time. I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth. Like, a 'wake up in the middle of the night craving chocolate' kind of sweet tooth. And living through another scorching summer, I was desperately trying to find a way to satisfy my sugar cravings while also getting my caffeine fix. Sound familiar? That's when it hit me: a coffee float! But not just any coffee float… a cold brew coffee float. 'Cause who wants hot coffee when it's 90 degrees outside? And let's be real, a little splash of something boozy doesn't hurt either, right?
This Cold Brew Coffee Float recipe is seriously simple, and that's how summer treats should be. We're talking a handful of ingredients and about five minutes of prep time. The beauty of this recipe is how customizable it is. Feel free to swap out the vanilla ice cream for chocolate (or even coffee flavored!), experiment with different liqueurs (Kahlua is a personal fave), and load it up with your favorite toppings. Think whipped cream, chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cinnamon…the possibilities are truly endless!
Honestly, the first time I made this, I think I had three in a row (don't judge me!). The creamy ice cream, the bold coffee flavor, that little boozy warmth…it's pure summer bliss in a glass. It’s also a fantastic conversation starter. I made these when my book club came over last week, and let me tell you, everyone was raving about them! Prepare for requests for the recipe – trust me on this one. Plus, it's a fun, unexpected twist on your usual coffee routine. So ditch the same old iced latte and treat yourself to something a little more… decadent. You deserve it!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Chill your glasses: Place two glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This helps keep your float nice and cold.
- Scoop the ice cream: Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer. Place 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each glass. Don't be shy – the more ice cream, the better!
- Add the liqueur (optional): If you're feeling fancy (and I always am!), pour 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite coffee liqueur (like Kahlua or Baileys) over the ice cream in each glass. Alternatively, you could use amaretto or even a splash of bourbon for a different flavor profile. Honestly there no right or wrong. Just wing it.
- Pour the cold brew: Slowly pour cold brew coffee over the ice cream, filling each glass about three-quarters full. The ice cream should start to fizz and create a delightful frothy layer.
- Top it off: If desired, top each float with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or any other toppings you desire. A cherry on top is always a classic touch! Feel free to get creative with your toppings. I once tried crushed oreos, and it was amazing!
- Serve immediately: Grab a spoon and enjoy your Cold Brew Coffee Float immediately. Don't let it sit too long, or the ice cream will melt and your float will become a coffee soup (still delicious, but not quite the same experience!). I like to serve mine with a reusable straw to sip up all the coffee goodness.
📝 Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a concentrated cold brew.
- Adjust the amount of liqueur to your preference.
