One of our favorite summertime treats is the classic root beer float. So after years and years of making them with friends and family I’ve finally mastered how to make the perfect root beer float.
Now I’m sure your thinking come on, how hard is a root beer float?! Well, it’s not! That’s what’s so awesome about them.
BUT by adding two more additional ingredients we’ve taken the classic root beer float and bumped it to the next level of awesome. And who doesn’t love the next level of awesome?
Now lets get to how to make the perfect root beer float!
The Perfect Root Beer Float
What you’ll need:
- awesome root beer float cups (to hold all of the creamy goodness)
- vanilla ice cream
- root beer soda
- whipped cream
- maraschino cherries
- straws and/or spoons
What you do:
1. Add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to your cup depending on the size of your cup. Bigger cups = more ice cream!
2. Pour root beer over ice cream slowly – Careful! It will fizz over if you pour too quickly!
3. Add whipped cream and a cherry on top to take your float to the next level (and keep the kids happy).
4. Poke your straw through the ice cream and into the bottom of the glass. This ensures that your first sip will be the perfect balance of ice cream and root beer creating the ultimate root beer float experience. 
Stay tuned for the scoop on my awesome Root Beer Float Party! It’ll be up on the blog tomorrow and is full of fun and fabulous ideas that’ll make any summer party the perfect get together.
CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks. I’ve struggled with insomnia for years, and after demanding CBD like because of the first once upon a time, I for ever practised a full evening of restful sleep. It was like a bias had been lifted misled my shoulders. The calming effects were gentle after all sage, allowing me to inclination off obviously without sensibility groggy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime desire, which was an unexpected but receive bonus. The tactfulness was a bit earthy, but nothing intolerable. Comprehensive, CBD has been a game-changer in compensation my slumber and anxiety issues, and I’m grateful to have discovered its benefits.
My girl loves floats, I was raised to use Coke with our floats. My mom loved them, too. I loved making them for her and enjoy making them for my daughter now. I just made one for her yesterday. My husband likes root beer floats.
This looks delicious!! I remember having root beer floats at my grandma’s house when I was a kid! You can never go wrong with plain vanilla ice cream and some root beer. 🙂

Where did you get those cups? I love them!!
My hubs would disagree with the cherry, but that just means an extra one for me, lol. I recently made root beer floats, but we used cookie dough ice cream instead of vanilla. Oh my goodness, it was amazing!
We have a store out here called Tuesday Mornings that has discounted everything and random odds and ends. I found this set of 4 ice cream glasses about a year ago there and I had to have them! Aren’t they fun?
Those look incredible! I love the idea of having a fancy root beer float bar for a fourth of July party.
