Overview

The creamy cinnamon flavor of Rumchata meets the rich nostalgia of Root 42 in this quick and easy cocktail, also known as the Rumchata Root Beer Float.

With just 2 ingredients, the choice of root beer is critical. ALWAYS go for a root beer that uses real sugar and the highest quality ingredients. NEVER go for generic root beer that uses high-fructose corn syrup, or equally as bad, diet root beer that uses toxic artificial sweeteners.

Thankfully, you can have a case of the world's best small-batch root beer at your front door before your next party by ordering here!

What is Rumchata and Root Beer Called?

When you blend the creamy liqueur with the classic taste of root beer, you get what many affectionately call a Rumchata Root Beer Float. This name not only reflects the ingredients but also the dessert-like experience this drink offers.

The Perfect Root Beer and Rumchata Ratio

Achieving the perfect balance between Rumchata and root beer is key to creating a delicious drink. The ideal Rumchata and root beer ratio is typically 1 part Rumchata to 3 parts root beer. However, feel free to adjust according to your taste preferences.

Ingredients for Rumchata Root 42 Float :

• Rumchata: The star ingredient, offering a creamy texture and cinnamon spice flavor.
• Root 42 Old Time Root Beer: Crafted with real vanilla, caramelized pure cane sugar, and pecans. It's absolutely worth it over the generic taste of the "big" brands.
• Ice Cream (optional): For an authentic float experience, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Fireball Whisky (optional): For a Rumchata Root Beer Fireball twist, add a splash of Fireball Whisky.

How to Make a Rumchata with Root Beer Float:

1. Prepare Your Glass: Fill a tall glass or a mason jar with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.
2. Mix the Drink: Pour 1 part Rumchata over the ice. Slowly add 3 parts root beer to the glass. The slow pour helps to manage the fizz and foam.
3. Add a Scoop of Ice Cream (Optional): For that decadent Rumchata Root Beer Float with ice cream, add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It'll slowly melt into the drink, creating a creamy, dreamy texture.
4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of spice. Serve with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy every creamy, fizzy sip.

Root Beer Fireball Twist:

• Add a shot of Fireball Whisky for a spicy kick that complements the cinnamon notes of Rumchata.

Rumchata and Root Beer Shot:
