Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 ounces Irish cream liqueur
- 12 ounces Root beer
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (optional)
- 1 piece Cherries (optional)
Instructions
Start by placing two scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass (like a soda fountain or pint glass).
Pour Irish cream liqueur over the ice cream, allowing it to slightly coat the sides of the glass.
Slowly pour root beer into the glass, tilting the glass slightly to prevent excessive foam. Fill the glass almost to the top.
Carefully add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the float.
For a finishing touch, garnish with chocolate shavings and/or a cherry if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy!
