Let's make something good
How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Place a tall glass or soda mug
Place a tall glass or soda mug in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving to ensure it is frost-chilled.
15 minPour the chilled root beer
Pour the chilled root beer into the glass until it is approximately two-thirds full.
Carefully lower two scoops of vanilla ice cream
Carefully lower two scoops of vanilla ice cream into the root beer. This will cause the soda to foam up.
Slowly top off the glass
Slowly top off the glass with the remaining root beer until the foam reaches the rim.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top. Serve immediately with a straw and a long-handled spoon.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best experience, use a heavy glass mug that has been chilled in the freezer. Pouring the root beer slowly prevents the foam from overflowing.
