Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Your Ingredients

    Collect all your ingredients: root beer or Dr. Pepper, vanilla ice cream, and any optional toppings you wish to use.

  2. 2

    Choose Your Glasses

    Select tall glasses or frosty mugs for serving your float. Ensure they are clean and ready for use.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Pour the Soda

    Fill each glass with 1 cup of root beer or Dr. Pepper. Allow some space at the top to prevent overflow when adding the ice cream.

  2. 4

    Add the Ice Cream

    Carefully add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to each glass. The ice cream will create a frothy foam as it melts.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, top with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for extra flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the root beer or Dr. Pepper float immediately with a straw and a long spoon for scooping the ice cream.
