Everything about this drink says summertime. First, its name: the Float Trip. Second, its ingredients: fresh local blackberries (from Pestock Farms of Tonganoxie), a sweet apertif and ice cream. But even better than plain ice cream, this is Pachamama’s much more interesting house-made fromage blanc ice cream — made with a soft, slightly sour French-style cheese not unlike crème fraîche. Finishing with soda gives the drink a fizzy pink top.

The hard stuff: Aperol, a rosy-orange-colored Italian apertif (which, at 11 percent alcohol, isn’t really all that hard for a spirit).

Where it’s served:Pachamama’s, 800 New Hampshire St.

What it costs: $8
