I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love a good root beer float. Have you? Creamy vanilla ice cream floating in a tall glass of frosty root beer on a hot summer day… what's not to love? 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.
