Cherry cola tastes amazing, too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purple cow:<\/strong> Pretty purple drinks for all! Use grape soda in place of root beer for a fruity treat. You can also use strawberry, pineapple or lemon-lime soda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange cream:<\/strong> Love creamsicles? Use orange soda instead of root beer. We like making ours with Sprecher Orange Dream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcoholic root beer float:<\/strong> This one is for adults ages 21 and over only! Use alcoholic root beer, such as Not Your Father\u2019s, for an extra special libation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boston cooler:<\/strong> East Coasters know and love this medley of ginger ale and vanilla ice cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store a Root Beer Float<\/h2>\n<p>If you really want to store any root beer float leftovers, pop the mug in the freezer. Before enjoying it again, let the mug sit at room temperature until the root beer thaws, 5 to 10 minutes. Just know that the root beer float will not be as good as when it was first made and the carbonation will have flattened, but the flavor will still be there!<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make a root beer float in advance?<\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t recommend making the root beer float in advance. It only takes one minute to put it together, so it will hardly be any effort when you\u2019re ready to serve it. You can prepare by placing your mug(s) in the freezer, though!<\/p>\n<h2>Root Beer Float Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2086212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Root-Beer-Float_FT24_278587_EC_1122_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Root Beer Float served in three glasses with ice cream in them\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ELLIE CROWLEY FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Does the ice cream or root beer go first in a root beer float?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of debate around what goes in the mug first: the root beer or the ice cream. Well, in order to prevent overflowing and get the perfect creamy texture, add the ice cream and <em>then<\/em> pour over the fizzy root beer.<\/p>\n<h3>How should you serve a root beer float?<\/h3>\n<p>Do you use a straw? A spoon? Chug it straight from the mug? So many options! But which is the proper way to serve a root beer float?<\/p>\n<p>It all depends on preference, really. Root beer floats are actually quite drinkable with or without a straw once the ice cream and root beer melt together. But drinks really do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-do-drinks-taste-better-with-a-straw\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-do-drinks-taste-better-with-a-straw\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">taste better with a straw<\/a>! If your root beer float turns out like more of a shake than a drink, it\u2019s perfectly acceptable to eat it with a spoon.<\/p>\n<h3>Who invented the root beer float?<\/h3>\n<p>The world&#8217;s first known root beer float was concocted on August 19, 1893 by Frank J. Wisner, the owner of Cripple Creek Brewing in Colorado. Legend has it that Wisner\u2019s idea was born when he noticed that the snowy peaks of Cow Mountain resembled ice cream floating in soda. The next day, he combined root beer and vanilla ice cream and dubbed it a \u201cBlack Cow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recipe for a root beer float is simple; it has only two ingredients.
