Serves 2

Ingredients

Root beer
2 cups, chilled
Vanilla syrup
2 tablespoons
Half and half
1/2 cup
Whipped cream
1/2 cup, for topping
Maraschino cherries
2, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by chilling your root beer in the refrigerator for several hours to enhance its fizz.
  2. Pour the chilled root beer into two tall glasses, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to each glass, allowing the sweet aroma to waft up.
  4. Carefully pour the half-and-half into each glass, filling them the rest of the way. Watch as the creamy mixture swirls with the dark root beer.
  5. Gently stir the mixture with a spoon to combine the flavors, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.
  6. Top each glass generously with whipped cream, creating a fluffy cloud on top.
  7. Finish off each drink with a maraschino cherry perched on top for a classic touch.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of flavored soda like cream soda or vanilla soda to enhance the creaminess.
  • 💡 To make it a float, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the whipped cream for an indulgent dessert drink.
  • 💡 Experiment with different flavored syrups, such as caramel or hazelnut, for a unique twist.
