Meet me at the malt shop for the ultimate root beer float with a spiked twist! The Spiked Root Beer Float is based on a nostalgic classic reminiscent of summer days gone by. This adult dessert cocktail is made with all the classic ingredients we all know and love – vanilla ice cream and root beer but infused with vanilla vodka and Soda Jerk Root Beer Shot which gives it a intense caramel root beer flavor that’s out of this world. Soda Jerk is a California based company whose motto is pour, shoot and repeat. This award-winning root beer shot is based with vodka and is delicious on its own but can also be used as a mixer. It’s like a root beer float in a shot glass! You can purchase it at cwspirits.com/Gidget and use the code Gidget at checkout to get 10% off your order. Cheers!
