Faux Root Beer Float

This Faux Root Beer Float is the perfect GUILT FREE summer-time drink. The combination of root beer and coffee creamer tastes EXACTLY like a root beer float, but without all of the calories you would typically have with ice cream!

I don’t remember when or where I thought of this super easy drink recipe. I remember reading somewhere that mixing coffee creamer with Coca Cola is super popular in Utah, and initially thinking umm ew! Not long after that, I saw someone mixing creamer in their Orange Crush soda to make a creamsicle flavored soda and realized they may be on to something!

Fast forward to a few years later, and we absolutely LOVE these soda + creamer combinations as a sweet treat in the summer. It’s like having a float but without all the extra added calories from ice cream (although you can absolutely add some ice cream as well).
