Boozy Cream Soda Floats

Boozy Cream Soda Floats are perfect for hot days. Ice cream, A&W cream soda and spiced rum combine to create a fizzy, creamy summer drink. Looking for a non-alcoholic version suitable for the kiddos? Just omit the booze.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cup A&W cream soda (must be A&W)
  • 2-3 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 shot spice rum, I used Captain Morgan's Black Spiced Rum
  • whipped cream, if desired
  • caramel sauce, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. I like to get everything super cold before I begin, but this step is not necessary. If you want, freeze your glasses a few hours before making these. Also freeze the pop (in the bottle) for about 20-30 minutes. DO NOT forget the bottle in the freezer.

  2. Start by filling your glass of choice, I recommend a mason jar, half full with the cream soda. This may be more or less than 1 1/4 cup depending on the size of your glass. 1/2 full is a good eyeball measure, here.

  3. Slowly, drop in 2-3 scoops of ice cream. Again depending on the size of your glass

  4. Top with one shot of spiced rum. Give it a quick stir with a straw and serve immediately.

  5. Finish with whipped cream and caramel sauce, if desired.
