Cold root beer on a hot day is hard to beat; adding it with homemade vanilla ice cream as a root beer float...pure heaven.

ROOTBEER RECIPE

3 cups white sugar
3 cups brown sugar, packed
2-1/3 gallons of water
1 gallon of club soda, chilled
3 oz McCormick root beer extract
5 pounds of dry ice, no substitutes

Boil 1 gallon of water with the sugars; cool and stir in the root beer extract. Pour into a large cooler.

When ready to serve, add the gallon of chilled club soda and 1-1/3 gallons of cold water. Next slowly add the dry ice and cover loosely with the lid. Let the mixture brew for about 1 hour. Leftover root beer can be stored in gallon jugs. This free drink recipe will save you some money.
