Method
Preparation
- 1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for the root beer float. Make sure you have root beer, vanilla ice cream, and any optional toppings you wish to use.
- 2
Chill Glass
For the best experience, chill a tall glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving.
Assembly
- 3
Pour Root Beer
Take the chilled glass and pour 1 cup of root beer into it, filling it about halfway.
- 4
Add Ice Cream
Carefully add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass. The ice cream will cause the root beer to fizz, so add it slowly to avoid overflow.
- 5
Top with Whipped Cream (Optional)
If using, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the ice cream.
- 6
Add Cherry and Syrup (Optional)
Finish with a maraschino cherry on top and drizzle some chocolate syrup if desired.
