— Becky’s Tips:
- Choose a high-quality root beer for the best flavor. Avoid using diet or low-calorie versions as they may not provide the same level of sweetness.
- Use a sturdy glass that can handle the weight of the ice cream and the carbonation of the root beer.
- For a stronger alcoholic flavor, add an extra shot of spirit to the recipe.
- Experiment with different spirits to find your favorite combination. Some popular choices include vodka, rum, and whiskey.
- If you want to get fancy, try garnishing your Alcoholic Root Beer Float with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a cherry on top.
— Notes:
- This recipe serves one. To make multiple servings, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of people you want to serve.
- If you’re not a fan of vanilla ice cream, you can substitute it with your favorite flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the shot of spirit from the recipe.
