Tom’s Pina Colada post reminded me of one of my favorite summer times drinks. A ice cream float. I go through a TON of ice cream and pop in the summer months. Rootbeer is my favorite, But I like them with Cream Soda and Orange soda as well

I do a lot of homemade milkshakes, Blizzard style, with nuts, chocolate or cookies thrown in.
Those are great hot weather treat too. Like SuperDave, milkshakes are great too. I make a butterscotch milkshake…love them, and use caramel/white chocolate coffee creamer in lieu of milk when making them along with butterscotch ice cream topping. Ya, I know, lots of sugar, but…..
Vanilla ice cream and root beer. Nothing simpler or more satisfying. Hmmm.
Hard to beat! A Coke float is right up there IMHO.
Walmart sells a Margarita flavored sherbert. Put a couple scoops in a glass with one of the flavors of Bud Light “Rita’s”. So good.

Mmmm I love rootbeer floats! The ice cream gets a little crystaly and it cools you down in no time! I might just have to make one of those for dessert tonight! 😋👍
I’m partial to a bourbon malt. Icecream, malt powder, little bit of chocolate syrup, and bourbon.
As a tiny tike I was fanatical about root beer floats. Family brought me to a parade, I was having fun right away, then my mom said: ‘wait ’till you see the floats!’ I thought she meant root beer floats-
I find the Hanks brand of root beer and orange to be the absolute best. I am a lil bit of a root beer conisuer…. Sold at Hardware Hank.
I worked at a Hardware Hank in college and fell in love with Hanks Rootbeer! It makes for an excellent float.
Rootbeer has been my favorite kind of pop for a long time. So much so, Billy and I had a keg of 1919 Rootbeer at our wedding reception.

Lakeside Rootbeer stand in Winona has been making their own rootbeer extract from a family recipe for like 70 years. They use something like 2,500 pound of sugar a season, between Memorial Day and Labor Day, just to create their syrup. Its by far the best rootbeer I have ever had and will go out of my way to get a glass or a jug of it. The original owner lives near the stand and visits there several times a day “just to check on things” as he says. Cool old fella. His son now owns it but I’m not sure if he’s ready to retire. The stand is never not busy.
They also off a super good burger there. Carole is a fan of the shrimp burger and if we are there for something to eat, its the shrimp burger hands down for her. I’ve never seen her eat anything but that burger there in all the years we’ve been stopping there.

Probably. Never paid much attention to the name but still the best rootbeer around.
Love to sample many kinds of Root beer also. Try Dang Butterscotch Root Beer…Outstanding…..Then there is 1919…Point…Sprecher….etc.
A&W ROOTBEER FLOATS and their coney island hotdogs through the drive in were the best
