1 root beer float

A Root Beer Float is a classic soda fountain drink made with root beer and homemade vanilla ice cream. Simple, sweet, and nostalgic, Root Beer Floats evoke memories of soda shop counters and swivel red barstools. This easy drink recipe only needs two ingredients. We recommend serving it in a frosty mug with a striped straw.

Ingredients

1 bottle (12 oz) of root beer
2-3 scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream

Directions

Fill a tall glass, frosty mug with root beer, leaving some room for ice cream at the top.
Slowly add 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of root beer.
Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon.
