cook's notes
For presentation purposes, you can freeze small individual scoops of ice cream on a tray until very firm. That way the ice cream is more firm when you add it to the drink than if you have to soften the ice cream to scoop it.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Now this is my kind of rootbeer float! Use good ingredients (cheap whisky won't cut it). Going to go make another one right now!

Grown-up root beer float indeed! This is a fun mixed drink. And, as the submitter suggests, it has great potential for presentation. We added a little more ice cream than called for, for a creamier drink - more like a traditional root beer float. This would be an easy drink to make in larger batches, just adding ice cream to the individual glasses.
