Pams Root Beer Float

Pams Root Beer Float is a delightful twist on the classic root beer float, infusing it with a touch of sophistication. This drink combines the creamy richness of Irish Cream Liqueur with the effervescence of cola, served over ice cubes. The Irish Cream adds a smooth, velvety texture and a hint of sweetness, which blends harmoniously with the fizzy cola, creating a refreshing yet indulgent beverage. The drink’s name nods to the nostalgic root beer float, but with an adult spin that introduces a subtle alcoholic warmth.

The origin of root beer floats dates back to the late 19th century, when Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is credited with inventing the original concoction by combining root beer and vanilla ice cream. The modern adaptation seen in Pams Root Beer Float, however, reflects a trend in mixology where traditional soft drinks are reimagined with alcoholic ingredients to create novel experiences. This drink, with its blend of Irish Cream Liqueur and cola, offers a unique take on a classic, appealing to those who appreciate both traditional flavors and innovative cocktails.

This soft drink or soda is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Beer Mug or Pilsner Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
