It’s Thirsty Thursday, so let’s make ourselves a tasty treat!
Today, we’re making Drunken Root Beer Floats. Jägermeister is a German herbal liqueur. Some people might call it “an acquired taste,” but I’m going to let you in on a little secret: it goes GREAT with root beer.
If you’re not a fan, you can also use Vanilla Vodka.
Both Jägermeister and Vodka are best when served cold, so stick ‘em in the freezer for at least a couple of hours prior to making your drinks. You can also chill glass mugs (I used mini mason jars) in the refrigerator for little while to make ‘em extra frosty.
The recipe couldn’t be simpler: Add a scoop or two of Vanilla Ice Cream to each of your glasses, then 2 oz.* of either Jägermeister or Vanilla Vodka. Finally, fill to the top with Root Beer and enjoy!
* Since we enjoyed these for a Happy Hour treat, and since we were drinking out of mini-mugs, we used one shot of alcohol. If you’re making regular-sized floats, you may choose to double the alcohol. Always enjoy responsibly!
Cheers!

new to your blog, and have to say, LOVE YOUR STYLE!
the photos of the rootbeer floats are amazing!
My hubby and I have been drinking these at home for about a year now, awesome summer drink. You can’t really taste the alcohol, which may be a good or bad thing!
I call them grown up root beer floats and I use whipped cream vodka. I normally don’t like jager but it sounds like it would go with root beer. I am gonna try it thanks.
I always used Sambuka or Oozo. They are both “black jelly bean” flavored and they are both sweeter than Jager. If you have access to Sasparilla (it’s not sold in western wa. anymore) it’s even better than root beer.
I am a bartender and we make an adult root beer float that is amazing too. It’s vanilla ice cream, whiskey, Kahlua, and root beer. It’s DELICIOUS!!!
Found you through Pinterest – can’t wait to try these. You’re very talented! Followed on Twitter and added to Etsy Circle :)
Cheers!
