"A wildly indulgent funnel-cake creation called the GOAT piles Dr. Pepper syrup, Blue Bell ice cream, caramel bits and whole praline-coated pecans on top of a crisp funnel cake for an unabashedly sweet bite; the whole-pecan pralines add crunchy, caramelized contrast. There’s also a GOAT float that uses the same toppings in a Dr. Pepper base, which stays surprisingly light and refreshing despite the sugar; an optional spiked version mixed with a funnel-cake cream liqueur tastes like Bailey’s with extra vanilla notes and amplifies the dessert-like profile." - Courtney E.
