Root Beer Float Recipe
Hi Everyone, Did you grow up with Root Beer Floats? When I was growing up in New England, not a Summer went by without having a Root Beer Float at least once.
My mom introduced me to Root Beer Floats and this Summer, I introduced them to my kiddos. This recipe can double as a drink/snack and dessert.
They are sweet, ice-y, rich, creamy and oh so good on a hot, Summer day!
