Bourbon Root Beer Float

This is a perfect dessert-like cocktail and I never met a bourbon, or ice cream for that matter, that I didn’t like.

Booze and ice cream are always perfect together. Comfort at its finest!

Bourbon Root Beer Float

After I scooped the ice cream into my mug, I poured the bourbon and the root beer over top.

Then I decided that there wasn’t enough pizzaz so I added the drizzle of hot fudge. I did this with a little sandwich bag.

I scooped the hot fudge in the bag with a spoon and snipped the corner off.

Then I just applied pressure and squeezed the hot fudge over the bourbon root beer float.

I even added a cherry… Can you blame me?

And then of course, I blew bubbles with a straw.

We all still have a little kid inside of us, right?
