About National Root Beer Float Day
A root beer float is a popular American dessert that consists of vanilla ice cream floating in a glass of root beer soda.
Making a root beer float couldn't be easier - a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream is placed in a tall glass, and then root beer soda is poured over it until the glass is full.
The combination of the cold and creamy ice cream and the fizzy and sweet root beer creates a unique taste and texture that is loved by many people.
The root beer float is believed to have originated in the United States in the late 19th century, and it has been a popular treat ever since. It's a fun and easy dessert to make at home, and it's often enjoyed at ice cream parlors, diners, and other casual dining establishments.
