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.
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.
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.
Slowly, drop in 2-3 scoops of ice cream. Again depending on the size of your glass
Top with one shot of spiced rum. Give it a quick stir with a straw and serve immediately.
Finish with whipped cream and caramel sauce, if desired.
