National Root Beer Float Day

National Root Beer Float Day History

National Root Beer Float Day promotes the consumption of the fizzy beverage. Root Beer Floats are typically made with Vanilla Ice Cream and Root Beer. The beverage is made by adding one scoop of vanilla ice cream to a tall glass. Root beer is then poured into the glass slowly until the foam rises. Frank J Wisner is credited with popularizing the Root Beer Float. This was at the Cripple Creek Brewery in Colorado in 1893.
