3 Tips for Making the Ultimate Root Beer Float

Begin with homemade ice cream. I was excited to try Hildebrand Farms Dairy Homemade Ice Cream Mixand I was super excited at how dang easy it was to make.  I just poured their liquid ice cream mix into the freezer part of my ice cream maker, turned it on, and in about 10 minutes (no, I’m not even kidding!) we had one-and-a-half quarts of homemade ice cream!! I was tickled to death and the ice cream was smooth, creamy, and rich.

Choose a rock star root beer. Because root beer floats are comprised of just two ingredients, both the ice cream and the root beer should be high quality. We enjoy Lone Star Root Beer made locally in Louisburg, Kansas, but if you can’t source that in your area, a good classic root beer available nearly everywhere is A & W Root Beer.

Be sure your root beer is super chill, the ice cream is frozen solid, and the mugs are frosty.  Rinse your mugs or glasses in water, then immediately stick them into the freezer. In about 15 minutes, you’ll have the perfectly frosty vessels for root beer floats.
