Root Beer Float- what a summer treat it is! I remember having this drink for the first time at my friend’s place when I was eight years old. I was there for a school project and his sister served us with this refreshing, creamy drink in the evening after we were done with the project.
What a drink it was! I have a clear memory of licking the sides of the glass after I finished the drink and his sister asking if I wanted more. I couldn’t resist gulping down another glass of it. It’s been around fifteen years.
My first Root Beer float and no summer has gone by since then without treating myself with this fantastic drink. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you all. It is such a quickie to make and needs a few ingredients. But there are many other drinks that we’ve covered in our blog. You should check them as well.
