Indulge in this grown-up twist on a classic root beer float! With creamy vanilla ice cream, fizzy root beer, and a bold splash of spiced rum, this dessert-drink hybrid is perfect for a casual evening treat or a fun party surprise.

Ingredients
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream about 1 cup
- 6 oz root beer chilled
- 1.5 oz spiced rum
- Whipped cream optional, for topping
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg optional, for garnish
- A tall glass or mug
Instructions
- Ensure your root beer is well-chilled, and for an extra frosty touch, place your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to your chilled glass. Press lightly to make room for the liquid if necessary.
- Slowly pour 1.5 oz of spiced rum over the ice cream. Measure it carefully to balance the flavors.
- Tilt the glass slightly and slowly pour in the root beer along the side to reduce foam overflow. Watch as the bubbles rise and mix with the ice cream for that perfect frothy top.
- Optional but recommended: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a decorative and flavorful touch.
- Grab a straw and a spoon, and enjoy the blend of creamy, fizzy, and spiced flavors!
