For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a splash of dark rum to the root beer. Experiment with different flavors of ice cream, such as chocolate or salted caramel, to create your own signature float. Use a high-quality root beer for the best flavor. Some artisanal root beers have complex notes of spices and herbs that will elevate the drink. For a non-dairy version, use coconut or soy-based ice cream and non-dairy whipped cream.
