Root Beer Float

How to make Root Beer Float Recipe - One of us (don’t ask) has been around long enough to remember when a certain root beer, recognizable by its orange and brown logo, was not a national supermarket staple. Rather, it was a special beverage available only at the company’s own restaurants—usually roadside stands selling drinks, burgers, and ice cream, none of which had made it to the East Coast yet. It was at one of these stands, during a cross country trip in the early 1970s, that one of us first experienced a root beer float. The root beer may not really have been that much better than any previously sampled. But sipping it on a dusty road in the heart of America, watching the sun set and a scoop of vanilla ice cream slip down the side of the frosty mug, it sure made an impression.

Ingredients:
1 quart (1 L) root beer (your favorite brand)
4 generous scoops Vanilla Ice Cream

Method:
Pour the root beer into 4 tall glasses or frosty mugs, leaving some room at the top (the root beer will fizz after you add the ice cream). Place a scoop of ice cream in each glass, pressing it down on the rim of each glass. Serve with straws and long-handled spoons. YIELD: 4 servings
