Ingredients

1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
2 quarts root beer

Directions

Hang a large, well packed scoop of vanilla ice cream on the edge of a fountain glass or other tall drinking glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with root beer. Set the fountain glass on a salad plate, underlining the glass for overflow. Serve floats with straws and parfait spoons. When you are ready to enjoy the floats, knock the ice cream into the root beer and watch it fizz up as the ice cream floats. Yummy! This is the simplest and my most favorite fountain drink!

This is the most creative recipe. I couldn't find root beer at my regular old grocery store, so I just used regular beer,... and I don't like ice cream, so I left it out. It was really refreshing and delishRead more

Unbelievable
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I am just stunned that some people need a "recipe" for a root beer float! Only Rachael Ray could take five sentences to... explain how to combine vanilla ice cream and root beer. And only her most deranged fans could rave and gush about it. I am sure that someone at Food Network put this "recipe" up as a joke.Read more

Thanks Rachel
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was not born in the US, and floats are new to me, so thank you Rachel for featuring this recipe. Keep up a good work, and... don't mind those simpleminded people who think that they now it all. If they did, they would know better than to express their opinion somewhere where it is NOT wanted.Read more

Why need a recipe for this?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love rootbeer floats and this is good. But JULIET, you are so right. Why is there a need for a recipe? I mean, how... silly. C'mon, Rachel! I guess there are people out there that don't have any clue to make floats. I guess she was listing the recipe for them. LOLRead more
