Add some spiced rum and nutmeg to the mix and you have an adult drink with all the fun of being a kid again.For more recipes from Rebecca Blackwell and the Of Batter and Dough blog, click here.

This dirty root beer float is far too delicious not to slurp down and thoroughly enjoy. It’s heavily boozed up, but the sting of the alcohol is tamed down by the addition of ice cream and root beer.

I decided to fancy this float up a bit by whipping it all together in the blender, and then putting chocolate sprinkles on the rim of the glass and adding whipped cream. If you're not inclined to get that fancy, you can totally just do the ice cream and root beer portion of this recipe and skip the rest. The entire thing is pretty delicious as a package deal, though — I don't recommend skipping a thing.For more recipes from Paige Flamm and the Happy Flammily blog, click here.
