Raspberry Peppermint Floats

  1. In a medium sauce pan, heat the raspberries and sugar over medium low heat. Let simmer slowly for about 5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the berries are broken up. Add the berries to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour this mixture through a fine mesh sieve to get out all the seeds (if you don't mind seeds, you can skip this pain-in-the-butt step). Chill the raspberry puree.
  2. Get out 4 smaller glasses and in each glass add 1 tablespoon of the raspberry mixture. Pour in about 3/4 cup seltzer water to each glass and gently stir in the raspberry puree. Scoop one large scoop of peppermint ice cream to each glass and garnish with candy canes.
  3. Note: if you have a hard time finding peppermint candy cane ice cream, you can make your own. Simply smash 4 candy canes to smithereens, then mash them in to 4 cups vanilla ice cream. Freeze until you are ready to assemble the drinks.
