Root Beer Floats!
 
I'm having a root beer float. It's tough to beat a good root beer float made with top quality root beer and vanilla ice cream. It seems like they are made for each other. It's been a while since I've had one, and I forgot how good they are. :tu

I love me a Root Beer Float. It has been forever since I have had one though. I will take care of that problem this week.

Can't go wrong here. Brings me back to my childhood.

I guess I am the only dissenter. We used to get these over the summers we
would spend in Minnesota or Wisconsin. We'd drive up from Louisiana and
discovered another world. But to me it's a waste of good ice cream.
MILK is the only liquid I ever use on IC. But as a kid, this was the treat du jour
over those long summers, so I drank and enjoyed it. But as an adult, I would
never make one of these. Separately, I love both.

I love them. A place near by called "Wild Willy's" makes them awesome. I prefer the chocolate ice cream soda, but my waist does not.

I stand corrected...Homeade Vanilla Ice Cream for sure and then fill w/A&W Root Beer. More milk?

A and W does make the best root beer, as far as what you can get nationally. Barq's is
more of a drinking root beer. And I am sure there are alot of people who would say that
their local brewer or bottler makes a kick-ass one. If I had to choke down a root beer
float, I would use A&W, lol.
And I won't lie. If you put a RBF down in front of me I WOULD drink/eat it.

While Root Beer Floats are wonderful I prefer a Coke Float. That was always a big summer treat once a week or so growing up in the Louisiana Heat.:tu

Add some chocolate to that milk and you've got my favorite (and homemade french vanilla not BB)! I like root beer floats and other soda floats, but float a scoop of icecream in chocolate milk and you've got my favorite (easy) dessert. :tu

Oh and the chocolate mix of choice.......Ovaltine. :dr

Love the Coke Float as well and the Orange Float, too! Ever tasted the "Purple Cow" float? Grape Soda and Vanilla Ice Cream?

I always preferred a Root Beer Whip. Same thing but nicely blended together.
