Cooking Games – Root Beer Floats


It might be cold outside, but that is no reason you can’t enjoy a root beer float. These classic ice cream treats are great anytime of the year and have a different flavor than you might be expecting, so be prepared to enjoy a new kind of treat!

Start by grabbing a large glass to hold your treat. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop up two or three large scoops of vanilla ice cream. It is best to go with a plain vanilla here – vanilla bean might have a bit to much flavor for proper blending. Place the ice cream scoops into the glass.

Open a fresh bottle of root beer. Different brands have different flavors, so you might get recommendations from a friend if you haven’t tried them all before. Slowly pour the root beer over the ice cream in the cup. You can expect a great deal of fizz as the ice cream reacts with the root beer, but that’s part of the fun. Grab a thick straw and get to work enjoying your delicious treat.
