Cannabis-Infused Emerald Irish Cream Cold Brew Float
Cold brew and Irish cream are a natural pairing — bold coffee depth balanced with silky sweetness. This St. Patrick’s Day float layers chilled cold brew, emerald vanilla bean ice cream, and a cannabis-infused Irish cream whip for a dessert drink that feels indulgent but portions cleanly. The infusion lives entirely in the whipped topping for precise control and consistent dosing.
