I was looking for some ice cream and noticed a couple bottles of root beer left over from the 4th of July. I used to make root beer floats for my sons when they were young. First one I have had in many years. Still pretty hard to beat !!!
Anyone else like these or what other summer treat brings back good old memories ???
Sorry technical problems…..
Oh yeah, we do root beer floats
Great idea. I have a couple bottles of craft root beer in the cooler. I think I'll fix one tomorrow. ( my liquid intake stops at 6 o'clock for old age reasons)
Denise made up strawberry short cakes the other night.
If you can see the cake,not enough strawberries.
If you can see the strawberries, not enough whippy cream
Now you got me hungry for some of that !!!!
A&W chili dogs and a tall frosty mug. Onion rings naturally.
homemade ice cream, we used to do it whenever we had a big family gathering, since mom passed I don't think we have made any the last 15 years or so. homemade ice cream will definately give you a brain freeze……..
AHHHH, a root beer float. I haven't had one in years. Sad.
I'm having one right now! But I skipped the root. And the float. 🍺

I ordered a root beer float at a restaurant a few years ago. What they brought me was a (I think) cookies and cream ice cream in root beer. Now I don't know if the soda "jerk" was stoned or if this was "what's cool in the hood". Since I was never going to return to this joint again I tried it. I'll ask if they use pain old vanilla if I ever order one again when I'm out and about.
SONIC makes them and imo pretty darn good!
The ultimate brain freeze!

If you have access to Blue Bell ice cream, they make an A&W root beer float flavor now. I can highly recommend it. I've probably put on a pound or so since we brought it home! 🍦
A carton of that would not last long around our place,

I'm a Diabetic. I use Sugar free Root beer A&W and low sugar Ice cream. Leaves crystals, that nice to crunch. Not the same as the real thing.
My dad like Chocolate Ice Cream with Root Bee,r called it a Brown Cow.
Cutty Sark milk shakes were a pool favorite of mine many moons ago.
First thing I got when we'd stop at Kmart. That or root beer from the food court. Then, off to gaze at all the guns and fishing goodies.
With the roots on the bottom and the beer on the top…..
It has been a while but made a lot of those. I made a lot with chocolate milk also.
An alternative would be vanilla ice cream in orange soda to make an old fashioned creamsicle.
Heck yeah, those are real good too^^^^
I am odd ball well some ways, i never liked root beerand still don't
My Wife loves it so we always have it around
As a young kid I remember seeing in the local stores
a plastic straw with a base ball ? size two piece bulge to put ice cream in It had a name but it's slipped my mind for now
You could put ice cream in the ball and one end of the straw, in what ever flavor soda or pop you liked .
it would pas thru the ice cream mixing what ever flavors you could come up with
Sadly i Never had one my parents said no need Like everything I wanted they told me Just put the ice cream and what ever in a glass
The Icee reminded me of the Slush Puppies. That was basically ice beads (think bird shots) in flavored syrup. It gave the best brain freeze because it was ice. I think AM/PM had it?
I always liked a good Orange Julius
