Steps:
- Hang a large, well packed scoop of vanilla ice cream on the edge of a fountain glass or other tall drinking glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with root beer. Set the fountain glass on a salad plate, underlining the glass for overflow. Serve floats with straws and parfait spoons. When you are ready to enjoy the floats, knock the ice cream into the root beer and watch it fizz up as the ice cream floats. Yummy! This is the simplest and my most favorite fountain drink!

Tips:
- For a creamy and rich root beer float, use high-quality vanilla ice cream. Full-fat milk or cream can also be used to make the ice cream float creamier.
- Use chilled root beer to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly. If you don't have chilled root beer, you can place it in the freezer for a few minutes before using it.
- Garnish the root beer float with whipped cream, a cherry, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra special touch.
- For a fun twist, try using different flavors of root beer, such as vanilla, cherry, or orange.
- If you don't have a blender, you can make a root beer float by hand. Simply place the ice cream in a glass and pour the root beer over it. Stir until the ice cream is melted and combined with the root beer.
Conclusion:
A root beer float is a classic summer treat that is easy to make and always a hit. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing float that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a sweet and fizzy treat, give the root beer float a try.
