this Recipe

Root beer floats have been a treat for a long time. It was originally called a Black Cow, but became known mostly as a root beer float. We remember getting an ice-cold root beer at the A&W, which sold it in a frozen mug. The soda would freeze a little on the glass while you drank it. This is why we think freezing your glass before making a float is a great idea.

The flavor and texture of a root beer float are delicious. It has the creaminess of vanilla ice cream with the flavor of root beer soda. The two just meld together, giving you a drink that is hard to resist.

This drink is very easy to make and looks perfect. You add ice cream to a glass and slowly pour in a cold can or bottle of root beer. Pouring the soda slowly creates small bubbles that rise in the glass as you pour.

Ingredients for a Root Beer Float:

• Large glass- Glasses are nice when they are frozen for a short time. Make sure they can be put into the freezer first.
• Vanilla Ice Cream- Vanilla is the original flavor of root beer floats.
• Cold root beer- This is what the drink is all about.
• Whipped cream- Optional, but a nice addition.

Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream into a glass. You can use two scoops, depending on how large your glass is.

Now, pour some of the cold root beer onto the ice cream.

Add another scoop of the ice cream to the glass.

Now, top the glass off with some more root beer. You can pour as much in as you like, but stop before it goes over though.

Now, enjoy your creation!
