Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ounces vanilla ice cream (¼ pint)
- 8 ounces root beer (IBC recommended, ¾ bottle)
- 1½ ounces vanilla vodka (Smirnoff recommended, 1 shot)
Instructions
- Add Ice Cream: Place 2-3 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass to create a creamy base for the float.
- Pour Root Beer Halfway: Fill the glass halfway up with chilled root beer, allowing it to mix slightly with the ice cream while retaining some foam.
- Add Vodka and Top Up: Pour 1 shot (1½ ounces) of vanilla vodka over the ice cream and root beer mixture, then top off the glass with more root beer until full, creating a fizzy, boozy float.
Notes
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream and root beer for the best flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy texture before the ice cream fully melts.
- Adjust the amount of vodka to taste or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
- Use a tall glass to accommodate all ingredients and allow for proper mixing.
