Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Root beer (dark soda)
- 6 oz Ginger ale (light soda)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 2 leaves Mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
Fill a tall glass with 4 ice cubes to keep the drink chilled and enhance layering.
Tilt the glass at a slight angle and slowly pour in the root beer until the glass is halfway full.
Using the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the root beer, gently pour the ginger ale over the spoon to create a layered effect.
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a citrusy aroma.
Add mint leaves on top for a pop of color and to enhance freshness, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer, but be sure to admire the layers before mixing!
