GROWN-UP ROOTBEER FLOAT

A local liquor store carried mini bottles of 4 different Tippy Cow rum flavors. This one is similar to, and you can substitute, RumChata instead. Actually, they are both made by the same company. Not sure how widely distributed they are. Regardless, this is an easy and tasty combination of flavors. Reminiscent of summer, but works well any time of year!

Time 5m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 orange
2 ounces bourbon
2 dashes orange bitters
3/4 cup root beer
1 ounce heavy cream

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to remove a long piece of zest from the orange, working your way around the fruit.
  • Combine the bourbon and bitters in a tall glass. Twist the orange zest over the glass to release the oils, then drop it in. Fill the glass halfway with ice. Add the root beer.
  • Slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon into the glass so it floats on top.
