Creamy Root Beer Rum Cocktail

Bold, creamy, and deliciously nostalgic. This boozy float-inspired cocktail blends spiced rum with root beer and cream for the ultimate treat—like sipping dessert with a kick!

📝 Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 2 oz spiced rum 🥃

• 4 oz chilled root beer 🍺

• 1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version) 🥛

• Ice ❄️

• Whipped cream (optional, for garnish) 🍦

• Root beer float candy or maraschino cherry (optional garnish) 🍒

🧊 Instructions:

1. Fill your glass:
   Add a handful of ice to a highball or pint glass.

2. Build the drink:
   Pour in the spiced rum, followed by the root beer. Stir gently.

3. Add the cream:
   Slowly pour the heavy cream over the top. It will swirl down for a gorgeous, float-like effect. Stir lightly if you prefer a fully blended drink.

4. Top it off:
   Add a swirl of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.

5. Garnish (optional):
   Drop in a root beer float candy or place a maraschino cherry on top for a retro finishing touch.

✨ Tips & Variations:

• Make it a float: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a full-on adult root beer float.

• More fizz? Top with extra root beer if you like a lighter cocktail.

• No spiced rum? Try vanilla rum, bourbon, or even coffee liqueur for a unique spin.
