What Are Root Beer Float Shots?
Root Beer Float Shots are miniature versions of the beloved dessert beverage but with a grown-up upgrade. Made with root beer schnapps or spiced rum, a splash of root beer soda, and a creamy layer of vanilla liqueur or Irish cream, these shots deliver a rich, fizzy bite that tastes just like the original float—only with a boozy kick.
Served chilled and topped with whipped cream or even a mini scoop of ice cream, these shots are a fun, nostalgic way to toast to good times.
