Root Beer floats

About 2 weeks ago, I had dinner with my 2 dear cousins and an acquaintance at Relish in Cluny Court. Responding to a sudden craving for ice cream in a soft drink, I was led to ordering a root beer float. It had cost around 7 dollars for a scoop of vanilla and a slim glass filled with root beer. I looked behind the counter and saw an ice cream freezer with nestle label. Can't expect much I guessed. I wielded the spoon and dug into the soft vanilla ice cream first because I didn't want it to totally melt. Within seconds, an ice cream lover turned a "float" into a mere root beer drink.

But it wasn't just any ordinary drink. It was root beer mixed with some vanilla cream. It was creamy joy to sip the drink bit by bit. I suppose the 7 dollars wasn't all too bad. But when I went down to Marble Slab creamery, I saw a tempting option of trying their root beer float as well. Too bad, I was filled by the eccentric beef burgers of Relish. Anyway, at this moment, I am sitting comfortably tucked in swivel seat in Marble Slab creamery, analysing the creaminess and pleasure of my root beer float. I daresay, IBC rootbeer fails to accentuate the creaminess of the vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is indeed one of the best vanilla ice creams that may possibly exist out there (as shown by its huge ribbon "Best ice cream in America").

The texture of the vanilla is smooth, flavour strong, not too thick and sufficiently creamy to give the desire for more. Its melted form improves the flavour of IBC root beer, however, the excessive gassiness of the bottled drink diminishes the entire package.

So, the verdict is that A&W root beer floats still reign supreme. The nostalgic and creamy A&W root beers are superior to any other root beers I've tried thus far. If we combined A&W root beers with marble slab vanilla ice cream, perhaps we might get the creamiest concoction. We'll try that one day.
