Instructions:

  1. Remove Beckon Ice Cream from the freezer to let thaw for a few minutes. To make your root beer float extra frosty, place a tall glass in the freezer while your ice cream thaws. Pro tip: keep some cups in your freezer at all times for extra chilled and fancy frosty drinks throughout your week!
  2. Once your ice cream is thawed and your glass is frosty, add two scoops of ice cream to the glass.
  3. Top Beckon Ice Cream with Virgil’s Handmade Root Beer, pouring at an angle.
  4. Finish off with your lactose-free whipped cream and a cherry on top!
