A dirty root beer float is a delightful and indulgent twist on the classic root beer float. It incorporates the rich flavors of Root Beer Schnapps (or Vodka) and the creamy goodness of vanilla ice cream, combined with the fizziness of Bundaberg Root Beer. This decadent drink is a treat for the senses and perfect for those who enjoy a little extra kick in their float.
To make a dirty root beer float, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 oz Root Beer Schnapps (or Vodka)
– 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
– 1 bottle (12 oz) Bundaberg Root Beer
– Whipped cream (for garnish)
– 1 cocktail cherry (stemmed, for garnish)
Now let's dive into the steps to create this delicious concoction:
1. Gather all your ingredients and ensure they are chilled. This will help maintain the integrity of the flavors and keep your float nice and frosty.
2. In a tall glass or a classic float glass, pour in the Root Beer Schnapps (or Vodka). This boozy component adds a unique twist to the traditional root beer float, giving it an adult twist.
3. Add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass. The creaminess of the ice cream will balance out the sharpness of the alcohol and enhance the overall flavor profile.
4. Slowly pour the Bundaberg Root Beer over the ice cream and Schnapps (or Vodka). The carbonation will create a frothy and effervescent texture, making your float even more enjoyable.
5. Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the ingredients. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as you still want to maintain some of the creamy texture of the ice cream.
6. Top off your dirty root beer float with a dollop of whipped cream. This adds a luxurious touch and adds an extra layer of creaminess to the float.
7. garnish your float with a cocktail cherry. This not only adds a pop of color but also provides a sweet and tangy burst of flavor.
Now that your dirty root beer float is complete, it's time to indulge! Take a sip and savor the decadent combination of root beer, ice cream, and alcohol. The creamy and fizzy texture, along with the rich flavors, will transport you to a state of pure bliss.
Whether you're enjoying this treat on a hot summer day or as a dessert after a delicious meal, a dirty root beer float is a delightful and indulgent way to satisfy your sweet tooth. So go ahead, treat yourself to this adult twist on a childhood favorite and enjoy every sinful sip. Cheers!
