Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1.5 cups Root beer or cola (chilled)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
Chill your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes prior to preparation for an extra frosty float.
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and place two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass.
Slowly pour chilled root beer or cola over the ice cream, allowing the foam to rise naturally. Continue filling the glass until it's full, leaving a small space at the top to avoid spillage.
Optionally, top the float with a dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
Garnish your float with a maraschino cherry if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon. Enjoy your classic Brown Cow Root Beer or Cola Float!
