Warm Up with Apple Pie Floats

November is finally here and even though the weather is getting colder Cold Cow Ice Cream can still warm you up with this recipe for apple pie floats!

Apple Cider has been around even longer than ice cream.  In fact, Chris Lehault, a self-proclaimed cider journalist wrote about how cider played a large part in American history. Do you remember hearing stories about Johnny Appleseed?  Well, thanks to Johnny apple orchards were plentiful and cheap making cider one of early America’s most popular drinks.  

Hard cider became less popular after the introduction of German beer but is increasing in popularity recently. Apple cider still remains our seasonal favorite. These tasty drinks put a new spin on an old classic.

We especially like this recipe from Our Best Bites for an apple pie float.  It’s perfect for using that leftover ginger ale in your fridge or for an apple pie treat without the need for a fork!
