Root Beer Floats

Remember these? Grab a frosty mug or an old-fashioned soda fountain glass.

Ingredients

1 liter root beer
4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
Flavored syrups, such as vanilla or cherry
Root beer candies (for garnish)

Instructions

Fill four tall glasses three-quarters of the way with root beer. (You may want to set the glasses on small plates to catch any overflow from the fizz.) Place 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass. Top with a drizzle of your choice of flavored syrup. Sprinkle the crushed root beer candies over the top, and serve immediately, with long straws and long-handled spoons.

Yield: 4 large floats
