Great for serving in rounds or as a dessert-style shooter.
No blender required—just shake or stir and serve!
🧪 Ingredients:
1 oz root beer (cold!)
1 oz whiskey (preferably vanilla or honey flavored—think Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, or even Fireball for a spicy twist!)
Whipped cream (canned or fresh, for topping)
Optional: ½ oz vanilla cream liqueur (like RumChata or Bailey’s Vanilla) for added creaminess
Crushed ice or ice cube (for mixing)
🍹 How to Make It (Shot Style):
Chill Your Glass
Pop your shot glasses into the freezer for a few minutes while you prep your ingredients—this makes the float experience even better.
Mix the Booze
In a shaker or small mixing glass with ice, combine:
1 oz whiskey
½ oz vanilla cream liqueur (optional but recommended for creamy richness)
Shake gently.
Add the Root Beer
Top with 1 oz root beer and stir gently (don’t shake carbonated drinks or you’ll get a fizzy mess!).
Pour Into Shot Glasses
Strain the mix into your chilled shot glasses, leaving a little room at the top.
Top with Whipped Cream
Add a swirl of whipped cream on top and a dusting of nutmeg, cinnamon, or crushed candy if you’re feeling extra.
Serve Immediately
These are best served cold and fresh so you get the fizzy, creamy float effect in every sip.
