something about putting root beer and vanilla ice cream together is pure magic! I don't particularly like root beer or vanilla ice cream but when they are together yum!! I tried the whipped cream and cherry too which was a nice touch. thank you Lucinda!!

My five year olds will do ANYTHING if promised a RB Float. Willingly clean their rooms??? It's hilarious. With whipped cream and a cherry or without, this is a classic that can't be touched. **Christine M, I'm so with ya about those wee little crystals that form. YUM!** Variation: Put it in the blender and "WHIP" for a Root Beer Freeze.

Love root beer floats! Another float that is delicious is lemon lime soda with lime sherbet, or really any sherbet flavor with a clear soda. So refreshing in the summer!

If you like vanilla ice cream, then you need to try making this with CHOCOLATE ice cream! It's even better!

For some reason here in northeast Ohio we call these Boston coolers. So good on a hot summer day and I agree with the other reviewer who said to use Stewart's root beer... really fantastic!

Although I agree that the root beer float is one of the most magnificent things to happen to mankind, you forgot to mention the fact that a 'gourmet' float is only TRULY 'gourmet' if you use Homemade Brand vanilla ice cream and Stewarts root beer! THIS is a 'GOURMET' root beer float! :)!

I love these, although it's a toss up between root beer and orange crush...mmmm. Don't need the whipped cream or cherry, but makes it a little fancier.

Ah, the simple pleasures in life!! We loved these as kids. I usually skip the cherry. I like to use not so cold root beer over really frozen ice cream, so some of the root beer freezes and you get these little crunchy pieces of frozen root beer crystals....yum! Thanks for sharing, Lucinda!!
