Ingredients

12 oz Root beer (chilled)
2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
2 oz Spiced rum
2 tbsp Whipped cream
1 piece Maraschino cherry
1 tsp Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Chill your serving glass (a soda fountain glass works perfectly) in the freezer for a few minutes before starting.

Step 2

Scoop 2 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass.

Step 3

Carefully pour the chilled root beer over the ice cream, filling the glass about 3/4 full. Pour slowly to avoid creating excessive foam.

Add the spiced rum by gently drizzling it over the root beer and ice cream. Let it mix naturally for a layered presentation.

Step 5

Top with a swirl of whipped cream, then garnish with a maraschino cherry on top.

Step 6

For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy responsibly!
