root beer float
Fizzy ice-cream drink
A root beer float is a dessert drink made by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to a glass of root beer.
The ice cream floats on top and gradually melts into the soda, creating a creamy, foamy mixture.
Also called a black cow.
We stopped for root beer floats after the game.
