Old Fashioned Creamy Root Beer Float

A root beer float that tastes creamy from the first sip thanks to a little melted ice cream poured into the bottom of each glass.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vanilla bean ice cream, melted but still cold
• 8 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
• 4 (12 oz.) bottles your favorite root beer
• 1 cup whipped heavy cream, unsweetened
• 4 maraschino cherries

Steps

1. Spoon 2 tablespoons of melted vanilla ice cream into the bottom of each glass.
2. Pour in about 1/4 of a bottle of root beer.
3. Add one scoop of ice cream to each glass, then slowly top with root beer until the foam reaches the rim.
4. Drop in another scoop of ice cream. Pipe or spoon on a big swirl of whipped cream, and set a drained maraschino cherry on top.
5. Serve right away, with the rest of the root beer bottle handy for refills as you drink.
