Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 scoops ice cream
cold root beer (enough to fill the glass)

Steps:

  • Put the ice cream into the glass.
  • Pour the root beer over the ice cream to fill the glass.
  • Enjoy!

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right root beer: Not all root beers are created equal. For the best float, choose a root beer that is creamy and flavorful. Some good options include A&W Root Beer, Barq's Root Beer, and IBC Root Beer.
  • Use cold ingredients: Cold root beer and ice cream will help create a refreshing float. If you don't have time to chill the root beer, you can add a few ice cubes to the glass before pouring in the root beer.
  • Don't overfill the glass: Leave some room at the top of the glass so that the float doesn't overflow when you add the ice cream.
  • Add the ice cream slowly: Gently pour the ice cream over the back of a spoon so that it doesn't sink to the bottom of the glass. You want the ice cream to float on top of the root beer.
  • Top with whipped cream and a cherry: Whipped cream and a cherry are the perfect finishing touches for a root beer float. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that takes the float to the next level.

Conclusion:

Root beer floats are a classic summertime treat that are easy to make and enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing float that will help you cool down on a hot day. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give a root beer float a try!
