Chef’s Tips

• Chill the glass and the root beer. Warm ingredients make an overflowing foam and a thin drink.
• Pour the root beer slowly, in stages, down the side of the glass.
• Use a good vanilla ice cream. A plain one is the whole flavour of the float.

Pairing Suggestions

• Salted pretzels
• A burger
• French fries

Storage & Reheating

Make to order. A float does not keep.
