Root Beer Float Cocktail

What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.

Root Beer Float Cocktail

Post by Chowhound »

root-beer-float-cocktail-horizontal.jpg
3/4 cup root beer separated
2 oz butterscotch schnapps may substitute rum, vodka or tequila
1 generous scoop vanilla ice cream
Maraschino cherries optional

Pour half of the root beer into the mug then add vanilla ice cream. Pour the butterscotch schnapps over the top of the ice cream then top with remaining root beer. Adding root beer at the end will help create foam. Top with cherries and add a straw. One 12-ounce can of root beer makes 2 perfect root beer float cocktails.
