Hard Cider Pumpkin Float
Two of my favorite products come together in one great drink… I used Reserve Pumpkin Woodchuck Cider and then Talenti’s new Pumpkin Pie gelato. This was perfect for fall, but you could get creative with any of your favorite ale’s and gelato or ice cream. Talenti Gelato is so good you may have a hard time sacrificing it to an ale float, but I suggest you at least try! Use a scoop or two in your float and you’ll still have plenty to savor and enjoy straight out of the pint….it’s one of my favorite me time indulgences!

1-2 scoops Pumpkin Pie Talenti Gelato or your favorite gelato/ice cream
Glass: Tall soda or DOF
Pour Woodchuck Cider into a chilled pint glass. Add 1-2 scoops gelato. Serve immediately and enjoy!
