This post will be short and sweet (no pun intended)! I love root beer floats and if you ask Holli she will tell you that in the summer I get these crazy root beer float cravings. There is something wonderful about the root beer crystals that form in the cracks of the ice cream and then drinking that creamy root beer goodness afterwards! It doesn't get much better on a hot summer day! That being said, you would think a blended root beer float would be inferior because you just don't get that same experience you do with the traditional float. I would beg to differ. I almost prefer the blended float. I can't exactly explain why, but it is just better. Don't get me wrong I still love the float, but you will just have to try it for yourself and decide.
Blended Root Beer Floats
Ingredients
4 Scoops of Ice Cream
1 Can Root Beer Chilled
Directions
Blend 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream with 2/3 cups of Root Beer. Blend until mixture is smooth. Pour into two tall glasses. You can even put a small scoop of ice cream on top for good measure.
Really you can just add as much ice cream as you want and then add the root beer until you get the thickness of a milk shake. I just added the measurements from
here for people who like that sort of thing. You can just wing it. You can also add any other sodas you like. Orange would be nice. Also, don't get cheap root beer. Get the good stuff. I like A&W or IBC.
