Bacardi Root Beer Float

By MixThatDrink

How does a vanilla root beer sound? That’s basically what you’re getting with the Bacardi Root Beer Float cocktail, which mixes root beer with a generous helping of vanilla-infused rum. No need to scoop in the ice cream for this float; just open and pour.

I’m classifying this one as a cocktail, but part of the beauty of the Bacardi Root Beer Float is that it’s easily scaled to whatever size you want. You could fill a shot glass one-third of the way with the Vanil rum, and then fill it the rest of the way with root beer, and you’re done. Or you can fill a beer mug with the same proportions.
