  1. 1

    Prepare the Glasses

    Place 4 glasses on the bar or serving table, ensuring they are clean and dry.

    Fill each glass with approximately ½ cup of ice cubes, adjusting as necessary based on glass size.

  3. 3

    Arrange Napkins

    Pour the root beer and vanilla mixture over the ice in each glass, filling each glass about ¾ full.

  3. 6

    Slowly pour ¼ cup of cream into each glass, allowing it to swirl into the soda for a creamy texture.
