- Top with whipped cream, a cherry, and add a straw. You may need to scoop some extra foam off the top first.
Notes
- Chill the Glass: Place your mug or glass in the freezer for 15-20 minutes beforehand. A frosty mug keeps the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- We actually use zero sugar root beer for this! Regular root beer, craft root beer, or even cream soda will work too.
