What's the worst part about most desserts? They lack alcohol. This dessert is the love child of two of my favorite combinations. The first: ice cream paired with amaro and Green Chartreuse paired with root beer. These two combos seem off at first but when you try them and start to think about the complimenting flavor profiles, you'll wonder what else you've been doing wrong your whole life.
