Since I'm not going anywhere to buy one, I have started making my own.

 

I bought A&W root beer then freeze. It is has to be soft enough to get out of the bottle.  I put it in  a big mug and add vanilla ice cream. 

 

Not really a recipe but I thought I would share.

Root Beer poured over vanilla ice cream is the drink of CHAMPIONS!

Rootbeer floats are some of my very favorite things.  Growing up in the midwest we called them "Black Cows" when I was growing up.  For my 60th birthday party 3 years ago in honor of that my husband had a Root Beer Float station set up.  It was awesome and people LOVED it.

Arby's is selling coke floats and root beer floats. The small size (quite adequate) is a dollar; I always get the medium (warning: they are addictive!).

Good to know, I'm out the door right now to get a large if they have them.

I just put A&W Rootbeer in my walmart shopping cart.  We do curbside pickup.
