Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the root beer float will be. Use a good quality root beer, ice cream, and whipped cream.
Chill the root beer and ice cream before using. This will help the float stay cold and creamy.
Use a tall glass. This will give you plenty of room for the root beer, ice cream, and whipped cream.
Add the root beer first, then the ice cream, and then the whipped cream. This will help prevent the float from becoming too watery.
Garnish with a cherry or a sprinkle of nutmeg. This will add a festive touch to your float.
