Tips:

  • 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.
