National Root Beer Float Day

Diet? Not on August 6. It’s National Root Beer Float Day, after all — a time to enjoy one of the best beverage/dessert combos on the planet. On that day, some even compete for root beer float greatness. It all started in Colorado back in 1893. Frank J. Wisner was inspired. Surrounded by Cow Mountain where his Cripple Creek Brewing Company was located, Wisner came up with a novel idea. While mountain gazing, he didn’t see snow-covered peaks. Instead, Wisner envisioned scoops of ice cream floating in root beer.  Crazy, right? So, today, enjoy the tallest, fizziest root beer float you can find!

Note: Read on to find out how you can get a free A&W root beer today!

When is National Root Beer Float Day 2022?

The frothy beverage/dessert combo we all love is celebrated on National Root Beer Float Day on August 6.

History of National Root Beer Float Day

The unique fusion of ice cream with root beer is unlike anything else. This summertime delicacy has a history as rich as its texture and flavor!

Frank J. Wisner, the owner of Colorado’s Cripple Creek Brewing, is the person to thank for creating the root beer float on August 19, 1893. The idea behind this extraordinary innovation came to Wisner when he was looking at the snowy peaks of Colorado’s Cow Mountain that gave the illusion of ice cream floating on a beverage. While staring out of the window of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, Wisner thought the glow of the full moon made the snow-capped mountains resemble ice cream.

The following day, Wisner got to work combining vanilla ice cream with root beer and calling the result the ‘Black Cow Mountain.’ The soda he had used was Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. The root beer float was served to his guests the very next day and became an instant hit. Children shortened the word to ‘Black Cow,’ and today it is simply known as root beer float.

National Root Beer Float Day Activities

Conduct some root beer research

Throw a root beer party for adults

There's no better way to celebrate National Root Beer Float Day than by concocting your own root beer float. Grab a bottle of your favorite brand of root beer, pour into a chilled glass and top off with a fresh scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nice!

Now, this is the kind of research you can appreciate! The Root Beer Store sells more than 100 brands and flavors of root beer. You can check out customer reviews of all the root beers for sale and even order mix-and-match bottles. Your local specialty liquor store may also have a pretty good selection, so drink up!

Hard root beer is blowing up! Clever brewers have come up with root beers that include varying levels of alcohol. Invite the neighbors over for a dessert party and imbibe on some root beer floats. But be careful, while the root beer goes down fast and smooth, it'll eventually catch up with you.

5 Reasons We Need A Root Beer Float, Like Right Now

Root root

The Philly float

The custard float is a definite thing

Why float when you can freeze?

The root beer float with a kick

Jeni's ice cream shops can double your pleasure with root beer floats made with root beer ice cream and Boylan root beer.

The Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia creates authentic root beer floats made with their own brand of root beer syrup and  ice cream.

Scooter's Frozen Custard in Chicago offers a root beer float made with vanilla custard, a refreshing twist on the standard float.

Instead of floating the ice cream on top of a glass of root beer, blend the two together to make a root beer freeze.

SpringHouse restaurant in Alexander City, Alabama, serves up a bourbon float made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, bourbon ice cream and a house-made root beer syrup.

Why We Love National Root Beer Float Day

It's a perfect combination

Floats come in many varieties

It generates donations for a good charity

It seems like such a simple recipe — root beer  in a tall, iced glass and two scoops of vanilla ice cream.  But if you're trying to get beyond the ordinary, then use extraordinary ingredients.  Select a frothy root beer with a high sarsparilla content and loads of sweetness.  Add rich, vanilla bean ice cream and get creative with your toppings.

The Boston Cooler was invented in Detroit, of all places, and is made with Vernor's ginger ale and vanilla ice cream. In many Asian eateries you can order a Snow White, which is composed of vanilla ice cream and 7-Up or Sprite. In Mexico, you can grab a Holado flotante, a combination of cola and lemon sherbet.

On National Root Beer Float Day, A&W Restaurants collects donations for Disabled American Veterans, a charity that fights for better health care benefits for America's injured heroes.  What a sweet idea!

Dracula Dictionary, August 6th - Addendum

"I'm afraid, my deary, that I must have shocked you by all the wicked things I've been sayin' about the dead, and such like, for weeks past; but I didn't mean them, and I want ye to remember that when I'm gone. We aud folks that be daffled, and with one foot abaft the krok-hooal, don't altogether like to think of it, and we don't want to feel scart of it; an' that's why I've took to makin' light of it, so that I'd cheer up my own heart a bit. But, Lord love ye, miss, I ain't afraid of dyin', not a bit; only I don't want to die if I can help it. My time must be nigh at hand now, for I be aud, and a hundred years is too much for any man to expect; and I'm so nigh it that the Aud Man is already whettin' his scythe. Ye see, I can't get out o' the habit of caffin' about it all at once; the chafts will wag as they be used to. Some day soon the Angel of Death will sound his trumpet for me. But don't ye dooal an' greet, my deary!"—for he saw that I was crying—"if he should come this very night I'd not refuse to answer his call. For life be, after all, only a waitin' for somethin' else than what we're doin'; and death be all that we can rightly depend on. But I'm content, for it's comin' to me, my deary, and comin' quick. It may be comin' while we be lookin' and wonderin'. Maybe it's in that wind out over the sea that's bringin' with it loss and wreck, and sore distress, and sad hearts. Look! look!" he cried suddenly. "There's something in that wind and in the hoast beyont that sounds, and looks, and tastes, and smells like death. It's in the air; I feel it comin'. Lord, make me answer cheerful when my call comes!":

I'm afraid, my dear, that I must have shocked you with all the wicked things I've been saying about the dead and such things the last few weeks; but I didn't meant them, and I want you to remember that when I'm gone. Us old crazy people with one foot in the grave don't like to think about it, and we don't want to feel scared of it; and that's why I started to make fun of it, so that it would cheer me up a bit. But, miss, I am not afraid of dying, not at all; it's just that I don't want to die if I can help it. My time must be almost over now, because I am old, and a hundred years is too much for anyone to expect; and I am so close that the Grim Reaper is already preparing his scythe. You see, I can't get out of the habit of talking about it just like that; the chins will wag as they used to. Some day soon the Angel of Death will sound his trumpet for me. But don't mourn and grieve my dear! If he came for me tonight I would not refuse to answer his call. Because life is after all only waiting for something other than what we're doing; and death is the only thing we can take for granted. But I'm happy, because it's coming for me, my dear, and it's coming quick. It might come while we are looking and wondering. Maybe it's in that wind over the sea that brings loss and ruin and sadness with it. Look! Look! There is something in that wind that sounds, and looks, and tastes, and smells like death. It's in the air; I feel it coming. Lord, make me answer cheerfully when my call comes!
