Root Beer Float -- Day

[beans]

For August 6, 2003 --

I can't seem to find Bols Double Barrel Root Beer Schnapps anymore, nor the DeKuyper Old Tavern Rootbeer. I know Hiram Walker also produced one too.

I'd recommend a vanilla vodka and this schnapps for a, chilled, up cocktail presentation.

Anywho, here's a little recipe for a fun way to celebrate that rootbeer float, in a different way...

In a 12 ounce glass filled with ice "build:"

1/2 ounce vodka

1/2 ounce Kahlua

1/2 ounce Galliano

cream (half and half is fine too) near to the top; stir to combine; top with cola.

Cheers!

Kahlua and Galliano? That sounds repulsive!

It's one of those things that when all combined, it is far from what's expected.

ummm, err, I don't drink these... but I have a few customers that will order this

Or combine a shot of Captain Morgan's with a Labatt draft. Tastes like sasparilla soda.

Wait for a group of guys that less kind folks might refer to as "meatheads" or some such.

Give them a small glass of the above as a sample.

They're bound to buy one or two, at the least.
