4 tablespoons creamy porter or stout beer

Scoop enough ice cream into a tall glass to fill it two-thirds full.
Gently pour the porter over the ice cream.
Garnish the drink with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

We'll be honest, if you don't like the taste of beer then don't try this recipe. We loved it though - the strong porter gave a great contrast to the sweet ice cream. We used vanilla ice cream made from coconut milk (doesn't have a coconut flavor) but it would be fun to experiment with other flavors (chocolate ice cream anyone?). We served these in small shot glasses.
