Ingredients

• 2 oz Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
• 8 oz Root beer (chilled)
• 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 2 tbsp Whipped cream (optional)
• 1 tbsp Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
• 1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Grab a tall glass, such as a soda fountain glass or beer mug, and ensure it is clean and chilled if possible.

Step 2

2. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the glass, ensuring they sit comfortably at the bottom but leave room for the remaining ingredients.

Step 3

3. Pour 2 oz of Kahlua over the ice cream, letting the coffee liqueur soak into the creamy scoops.

Step 4

4. Slowly pour 8 oz of chilled root beer into the glass. To avoid overflow, pour down the side of the glass and pause if foam rises too quickly.

Step 5

5. Gently stir the mixture once or twice to slightly combine the ingredients without fully blending them.

Step 6

6. If desired, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry for garnish.

Step 7
