Preparation
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for the root beer float including the A & W Root Beer and French Vanilla ice cream. If using, have your toppings ready as well: whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate syrup.
Chill Glasses
For an extra refreshing experience, chill your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before assembling the float.
Assembly
Add Ice Cream
Place 2 scoops of French vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass.
Pour Root Beer
Slowly pour A & W Root Beer over the ice cream, filling the glass until it reaches the top. It's best to pour gently to avoid excess foam.
Top with Whipped Cream
If desired, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the root beer float.
Garnish
Add a maraschino cherry on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra flavor and presentation.
