Prepare the Ice Cream
Scoop two generous scoops of housemade vanilla ice cream using an ice cream scoop or spoon. Place the scoops into a tall glass or ice cream float glass.
Pour the Root Beer
Slowly pour 12 ounces of Virgil's Root Beer over the ice cream. Pour gently to avoid excessive foaming.
Add Whipped Cream
Top the float with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for an added creamy texture.
Garnish
Finish off your root beer float with a maraschino cherry on top for a classic touch.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon for enjoying the ice cream as it melts into the root beer.
