*NEW* Liquid Nitrogen Frozen Sweet Potato Mousse with Candied Pecans and Maple Caramel Sauce – $5.25

A hand holds a plate of dessert topped with caramel sauce and nuts, with greenery and a body of water in the background, embodying the perfect moment for indulging in Food & Wine.

They freeze it in front of you, which is neat. It’s so weird, but so good, almost like a chunky pumpkin pie. It’s excellent. It might be the best new thing we had at the festival.

This is one of our favorite non-alcoholic drinks at the festival. We did feel like there was a bit too much ice cream and not enough cider. The apple pie filling on top is great. It’s a tasty and refreshing slush. We feel like, again, the cup is too small for the price and for how many ingredients there are.

Fanta Grape Float with Vanilla Ice Cream (Non-Alcoholic) – $6.75

Fanta Grape Float with Vanilla Ice Cream (Non-Alcoholic) – $6.75

This has a strong grape flavor. It tastes like a melted grape snow cone with a little bit of ice cream. We didn’t like this and would rather just have a grape slushie. Plus, it’s expensive for a very small cup. We will say that after the ice cream had fully melted, this was much better. It then tasted like a grape creamsicle.

Toasted Coconut Float: 3 Daughters Toasted Coconut Porter with Salted Caramel Soft-Serve – $13.25

This is a cool combination. By the time we drank it, the beer had settled on the bottom and the ice cream had floated to the top, but that made it more refreshing. As it melted and mixed together more, it became like an alcoholic milkshake, which was even better. The pairing of salted caramel and toasted coconut is great. The salted caramel sweetens the beer a bit. We highly recommend this float.

This is good, and it also has an alcoholic milkshake quality to it. The ice cream sweetens it up, just like with the beer float. If you’re into sparkling wine, you’ll like this, but even if you don’t love sparkling wine, you might still enjoy it.

3 Daughters Toasted Coconut Porter (6.0% ABV) , St. Petersburg, FL – $12.00

From correspondence with 3 Daughters Brewing, Toasted Coconut Porter is “a brew that takes your taste buds on a tropical journey with every sip. Crafted with precision and passion, this rich and robust porter is infused with the irresistible flavor of toasted coconut, creating a truly indulgent experience for beer enthusiasts.”
