With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, one of my favorite all-American treats is the Root Beer Float.

It’s a very simple recipe – root beer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but lately I’ve seen two adorable variations I just had to share. One mimics the standard recipe created in Colorado back in 1893, while the other one is a chocolately twist.

Recipe from Smarty Had a Party“To make these cute treats, start by using a melon-baller to scoop the ice cream into the cups, top it off with a bit of root beer, and voila, you have a lovely, yummy conversation starter to open the party with!”
