Use a high-quality root beer for the best flavor.
Scoop the ice cream just before assembling to keep it from melting too quickly.
For a twist, try adding a scoop of chocolate ice cream for a black and tan float.
Serve with a straw for an extra fun experience!

This is best enjoyed immediately. Not recommended to store due to the ice cream melting.

Can I use diet root beer?

Yes, but note that the flavor profile will be slightly different.

What if I don't have vanilla ice cream?

You can use chocolate or even a swirl of both for a unique twist!

How do I keep my float from getting too fizzy?

Pour the root beer slowly over the ice cream to minimize overflow.
