Root Beer Floats get transformed into Root Beer Float Popsicles for the perfect summer treat!
One of the best gifts I ever received was a 12 bottle sampler of root beer from my friend, Michele. I’ll never forget it – they were all completely different, in packaging and flavor. I enjoyed every last drop.
It’s really my favorite soda, and yet I rarely ever buy it other than to use in something, like Root Beer Floats. And, in this case, Root Beer Float popsicles. How could I not?
Ingredients you need for these Root Beer Float Popsicles
- Root Beer
- Vanilla Ice cream
That’s it!
Recipe Tips
- you need flat root beer for this or the carbonation will bubble up when pouring. Open a bottle and place it in the refrigerate a day before using.
- this popsicle recipe was created using a standard bar-shaped mold, each holding about 1/3 cup. If you are using a different mold, you might need to adjust the ingredients.

By any chance do you remember where you got your mold ?
Hi Jasmine – Amazon. It’s this one…and I love them! http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-423-Ice-Pop-Maker/dp/B0002IBJOG/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1460939344&sr=1-5&keywords=popsicle+mold
This is brilliant! I was expecting you to mix the root beer and ice cream first, but that wouldn’t have been a float. Love the way you cook, lady!
Ha, exactly! I love that you noticed that. Thanks, Dani!
I wish I could learn to like root beer! I feel like it just requires a more sophisticated palate than I have.
You know, we live a short distance from one of the last A&W drive-ins on the planet, and I cannot drive past that place without stopping for a root beer float. So these I would LOVE!
Oh, HOW FUN. It’s probably a good thing I don’t live close to one of those…I would be there every day.
These are making me drool. In the bay area where I grew up there was this brewery that brewed their own root beer and I’ve never had anything else like it. Now I want root beer – and popsicles. It’s so darn hot!!
Oh, I can imagine it. If you ever want to go back there, I’ll join you!
OMG. Great minds, Amy. Great minds. This is on my to post list. I made a boozy version the other day that was an epic fail, but no worries, I drank every last melty drop. These, on the other hand look like a total success! Nicely done!
Ha *high five* Lisa! Can’t wait to see your version – I have no doubt I’ll want to eat those, too!
