Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Root beer (chilled)
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 oz Spiced rum
- 2 tbsp Whipped cream
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
- 1 tsp Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Chill your serving glass (a soda fountain glass works perfectly) in the freezer for a few minutes before starting.
Scoop 2 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass.
Carefully pour the chilled root beer over the ice cream, filling the glass about 3/4 full. Pour slowly to avoid creating excessive foam.
Add the spiced rum by gently drizzling it over the root beer and ice cream. Let it mix naturally for a layered presentation.
Top with a swirl of whipped cream, then garnish with a maraschino cherry on top.
For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy responsibly!
