There’s something timeless about a root beer float. It’s refreshing, creamy, and incredibly simple to make yet it always feels a little special. Using Double Rainbow's creamy French Vanilla, this float is an easy way to turn an ordinary day into something sweet.
How to Make It
1. Start with the ice cream.
Add 2–3 scoops of French Vanilla ice cream to a tall glass. The rich, creamy vanilla base creates the perfect foundation for that fizzy finish.
2. Slowly pour the root beer.
Tilt the glass slightly and pour the chilled root beer gently over the ice cream. Go slow so that classic foam rises quickly and creates a beautiful, bubbly top.
3. Add the finishing touches.
Place a straw in the glass for sipping and add a spoon for scooping.
Why French Vanilla?
French Vanilla’s smooth, custard-like richness pairs beautifully with the bold sweetness of root beer. As the ice cream melts, it creates a velvety vanilla cream soda texture that becomes even more indulgent with every sip.
So grab a spoon, a straw, and enjoy every fizzy, creamy sip.
