Ingredients
- 1 bottle or can of chilled root beer
- 2–3 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream, optional
- Maraschino cherry, optional
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Chill the root beer: Make sure the root beer is thoroughly chilled before assembling the float.
- Choose your glass: Use a tall chilled glass or a mason jar.
- Add the ice cream: Place 2–3 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass.
- Pour the root beer: Slowly pour the chilled root beer over the ice cream. Pour gradually because it will foam up quickly.
- Add more root beer: Once the foam settles, top off the glass with a little more root beer.
- Finish it: Add whipped cream and a cherry if desired.
- Serve immediately: Grab a straw and a long spoon, then enjoy the creamy ice cream melting into the fizzy root beer. 🍦🥤
Tip: For an extra-creamy float, let the ice cream soften for just a minute or two before adding the root beer. And yes… the best part is getting a little bit of fizzy root beer AND melted vanilla ice cream in every sip!
