Easy Root Beer Float Mocktails

Root Beer Float Mocktails are such a great treat for the summer! Here is a fun recipe that you can make anytime!

Okay, so let me tell you—growing up, I always saw root beer in the store and totally thought it was something only grown-ups could drink. I mean, it says “beer” right in the name, so little me assumed it was off-limits.

Fast forward to finally trying it and realizing it was sweet, fizzy, and nothing like I expected… I’ve been hooked ever since! These days, I like to give the classic root beer float a little upgrade with vanilla coffee creamer instead of ice cream.

It’s creamy, fun, and perfect for literally any time—movie nights, cookouts, after-school treats, or just when you need a little pick-me-up.

Why This Drink Just Works

I used to be so confused by root beer as a kid—was it soda? Was it for grown-ups? Once I finally tried it, I realized it was totally kid-friendly and super fun to drink. Now my kids love it too, especially with the vanilla creamer added in. It gives you that creamy, float-like flavor without needing to scoop ice cream, which makes it way easier and quicker to whip up.
