AN EASY AND DELICIOUS SUMMER DESSERT

Ain’t that just a big glass of Summer? It shore is! Hey Hey, Summer! Hey Hey, friends! Welcome back! SO happy to see you!

I’m popping in today to talk to you about Root Beer Floats!

I don’t think I’ve had a Root Beer Float since I was like, 12! But, here I am now and my next go at them was with a scoop of frozen yogurt. Ha! So refreshing and sweet! Please come over so I can feed you an A&W® Float, like, right now.

So back in the day, like waaaay back, we used to have an open campus lunch at school. Jealous?! You should be.
Thus, during lunch, we would all scatter around; some would go to McD’s, others to B. King, and me? My friends and I would go to Papa’s Deli for ice cream, root beer floats, and feta cheese. 😀 Life was dang awesome!

Papa would bust out the 1960s ice cream glasses and fill ’em to the rim with vanilla ice cream and A&W® Root Beer, in the dead of Winter, mid of Spring, and all throughout the Summer. Think: the most gigantic Root Beer Floats in frosty glasses. I KNOW. I can’t deal either.

Fast forward to many years later – I’m not telling you how many – and now I get to do the same for my kids!

I mean, don’t these look so necessary, especially when you’re a little kid?

They are so necessary.

It’s a simple and small indulgence, but it creates a fun family experience, and it’s always something my kids look forward to. Whenever we go down the pop/soda aisle at Meijer, they reach for the A&W bottles almost instantly. Couple aisles down, we grab some vanilla frozen yogurt and off we go! It keeps us all happy and entertained and it’s all in the name of Summer FUN.

A & W Root Beer Float

The only difference in mine is that I use frozen yogurt; trying to cut down just a bit on the cream and sugar, you know? Doesn’t matter, though. You can’t taste the difference. A Root Beer Float with whipped cream and maraschino cherries on top is just the perfect summer drink. Try it!

In the meantime, hop over to your Meijer mPerks and start clipping and saving. In addition, you can buy 1 A&W® 2-liter, Get 1 Free using mPerks digital coupon at your local Meijer.
