One of my favorite ways to create a recipe is to mix things I love that wouldn’t normally go together. This cocktail is a love child of such mixing. I like whiskey… I like peaches… I like cream soda… and I LOVE ice cream. It might sound like a bit of an odd mix, but wait till you try it. It’s absolutely amazing.
Peaches & Whiskey Ice Cream Float, serves one.
whiskey (I used Bulleit)
peach purée*
cream soda
vanilla ice cream
cinnamon
*To make your peach purée, just blend up one peach (core removed) in a blender (use a tiny bit of water if you need liquid to help it blend). This makes enough purée for several drinks!
In a mug, combine two tablespoons peach purée, 1 1/2 ounces whiskey, and fill close to the top with cream soda, leaving room for one scoop ice cream. Mix the ingredients with a spoon. Add one scoop vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy!
This is a dessert and drink in one. It’s perfect for a party and easy to prep in advance for a group. I hope you guys like it as much as I do! If you have a whiskey aversion (as some of the girls on my team do), replace it with the spirit of your choice. I would probably choose vodka as my second choice.
If you’re curious how this drink would taste as a mocktail, we tried that too! Just omit the alcohol and enjoy! It’s delicious and unique, like an extra fancy soda float.

P.S. Here’s my favorite whiskey sour recipe.

Yumm!! Thank you for sharing! I’d love to try this and I know my husband would too! We’ll leave the dogs out of it though. 😉

This looks fabulous! Although anything with whiskey has to be good…
This looks and sounds divine! I feel like I’ve had something similar and loved it, so I can’t wait to try this!

This sounds so good! I have only tried whiskey once, and I wasn’t fond of it, but I think I’d like it in something like this. Or vodka. I like vodka, especially in sweet drinks!
Looks amazing, guys! FYI, I thought it was funny that I actually had to Google “cream soda” when I saw this, because in Canada the only cream soda I’ve come across is pink. Like, seriously PINK pink, and I didn’t realize it wasn’t like this everywhere… Hah! Oh, Canada 🙂
Oh man, this is sooooooo happening tonight!
Sorry- it’s not peeled. Just removed from core and blended. No peeling needed.

That sounds incredible! Have you had peaches from The Peach Truck?! They are THE best! And they deliver farm to porch!
This is definitely an ice cream float that I could get on board with! I have a couple of friends who really like whisky, and this would be a great recipe to share with them.
