Wanna try something indulgent and delicious? We teamed up with Amarula to make this boozy orange white chocolate float that fits the bill in every possible way! It reminds us of a grown up Orange Julius or like an orange creamsicle float cocktail. It’s ultra creamy, frosty and less sweet than you might expect, until the ice cream kicks in! You might want a straw AND a spoon for this one. Here’s the recipe:Boozy Orange White Chocolate Float, serves one
1/2 cup fresh orange juice, strained
2/3 cups Amarula Cream
1 ounce Cointreau
Vanilla Ice Cream
White chocolateSqueeze fresh orange juice and strain it into your cocktail shaker. You can use store bought orange juice if you need to, but you’re missing out! Next, add the Amarula and Cointreau and two handfuls of ice to your shaker. Shake-shake-shake! Pour into a short glass and add once scoop of vanilla ice cream. Next, sprinkle some white chocolate shavings onto the top of the ice cream. To shave white chocolate I used a vegetable peeler. Garnish with an orange slice and serve! You’re gonna love this boozy treat! The unexpected flavor and melty ice cream are an unbelievable combination! Just a side note, not only did Amarula make an amazing partner for my cocktail idea, but it’s actually a super inspiring company. $1 from every bottle of Amarula Cream sold goes straight to the Wildlife Conservation Society to help save the African Elephant and its habitat. You can read more about all the good things they do here. Awesome, right? xo. Elsie

I’ve never heard of Amarula. Sounds pretty awesome, I’ll have to look for it next time I’m at the store. I love the sound of a “grown up” Orange Julius, too 🙂
Is this your cocktail shaker?

Amarula was that tasty milkshake treat that I used to steal from my parents fridge at the ripe age of 13…I knew it was alcoholic….that’s why I stole it hahaha I love that there is an underlining charity attached to it though, these are the type of things I am exploring for 2014 posts. This boozy drink looks flipping tasty!!

Oh cool! I’m from South Africa and Amarula is absolutely one of my favourite alcoholic drinks that is made locally. 🙂 Definitely need to try this recipe out. Thanks!
Yumm!!! I am originally from the sunny shores of South Africa so have a few bottles of Amarula in my collection. I’m always stumped on creative ways to use it. We usually do a traditional cocktail called a Don Pedro. Really tasty but so pleased to add an additional recipe to mix things up a bit. Would be really keen to see more yummy Amarula recipes 🙂 Thanks Elsie!!!
This looks so yummy!

I love root beer floats so this will be a nice alternative!
Hi guys
I would love it if you could do a post on basic alcohol to keep on hand for these kinds of drinks/cocktails that you post about. I don’t know where to start without investing in a bar! Like if you had a $100 budget,what would you buy to start with?
mmm, looks delish!
xxoo,
