Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 8 oz Root beer (chilled)
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tbsp Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)
Instructions
1. Grab a tall glass, such as a soda fountain glass or beer mug, and ensure it is clean and chilled if possible.
2. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the glass, ensuring they sit comfortably at the bottom but leave room for the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour 2 oz of Kahlua over the ice cream, letting the coffee liqueur soak into the creamy scoops.
4. Slowly pour 8 oz of chilled root beer into the glass. To avoid overflow, pour down the side of the glass and pause if foam rises too quickly.
5. Gently stir the mixture once or twice to slightly combine the ingredients without fully blending them.
6. If desired, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
7. Serve immediately with a straw and long spoon for the perfect indulgent treat.
