Step by Step Method
Step 1
TO MAKE THE SYRUP; put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Combine the sugar, salt, and water in a small saucepan, bring to a low bowl, and boil for 2 minutes. Whisk enough of the hot syrup into the cocoa to form a smooth paste, then whisk in the remaining syrup. Stir in the vanilla. Let cool.
Step 2
*TO MAKE THE FLOATS* pour a tablespoon of cocoa syrup and a tablespoon of coffee liqueur into each of six tall 10-12 ounce chilled tall glasses. Add the scoops of ice cream. Add the stout, pouring it gently down the side of each tilted glass to prevent too much head from forming.
Step 3
Top each float with a dollop of whipped cream, then drizzle with a little more cocoa syrup.
Step 4
Serve immediately with straws and long-handled spoons.
