So, when’s the last time you had a Root Beer Float? Seriously. Ages ago, right? Do yourself a favor, and run out to the store and buy yourself a two liter bottle of root beer and a half gallon of cheap vanilla ice cream, and go whole hog tonight. I’ll bet you’ve forgotten how good one of these tastes…I know I did.
I ordered one in Disney, while the girls crinkled their noses at my choice. I forced them to try it, and now they want one every night for dessert. Yummy!
The Recipe:
Get the tallest glass you can find.
Fill it halfway with root beer.
Cram as much vanilla ice cream into the glass as you possibly can. (Foam-over is completely acceptable, and lickable.)
Gorge yourself until you’re sick.
Any questions?

Ick, root beer!! But, if you need an excuse to have a second one, feel free to make one for me and then tell everyone that I didn’t like it and you didn’t want it to go to waste 😉
You have your float and I will have my waffel bowl, coconut ice cream smothered in chocolate sauce.
KD…do you have yahoo chat?

Yeah, what Shrew said…twice.
Um, I have very fond memories of my mother treated us to RB floats as a kid, when she made homeade root beer. Now, by “beer” of choice is Diet Barq’s. I love Diet IBC but it’s much more expensive. Diet Barq’s is DA BOMB!! But I bet’s it’s better with Coconut Ice Cream. 🙂
Okay, y’all are killin’ me!!!! 😉
I’m all about the chocolate smothered ice cream, waffle cone and all that good stuff. Usually that’s all I get, so I went out on a limb and did the float thing…I think because I was so thirsty. And it was just so YUM!!!!!! I swear y’all should try it……it’ll be better than you remember, mark my words! lol
And if you don’t like root beer *PSHAW* 😉 Coke floats are good too….I’ll bet orange Crush would be even better!
Now DD…I’ve gotta ask, DIET??? WHY?
Shrewbie…I don’t *think* I have yahoo chat, do I? If not, I need to get it. I miss you guys.
KD – go to yahoo.com and download their instant messenger. Sometimes we get a good little group going on Tuesday and Wednesday nights making fun of Idol in real time.
I LOVE root beer floats! I discovered the best root beer in Maine a summer or two ago – Captain Eli’s. It’s made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Although A&W or Hires will do in a pinch. Way better than Barq’s – sorry maven!

Did you say chocolate? I recently discovered Dove ice cream at our grocery store and since Dove is my favorite “cheap” chocolate, I couldn’t resist. This is soooooo good!! (Hopefully the link will work)

Okay, so now I’m signed up. What next?
And A&W is THE BEST!!
That ice cream is on my list…right under the mango chow ingredients! 🙂
