Failed the float and the cream sank into the drink. But really, really tasty nonetheless. Minty, chocolaty and rich. I did use Maker's Mark though, with a tiny, tiny dash of banana liqueur to very vaguely approximate the idea of a Jack Daniel's whiskey (yes, heretic, I know!).

One of my favorite drinks to make. Sadly I’ve learned that almond milk doesn’t float at all, but it’s still delicious mixed up 😋

This was an excellent dessert drink. All the favlours work well together with nothing overpowering. Had a little issue with getting the float just right, but it worked and was delicious.
