This is a perfect dessert-like cocktail and I never met a bourbon, or ice cream for that matter, that I didn’t like.
Booze and ice cream are always perfect together. Comfort at its finest!
After I scooped the ice cream into my mug, I poured the bourbon and the root beer over top.
Then I decided that there wasn’t enough pizzaz so I added the drizzle of hot fudge. I did this with a little sandwich bag.
I scooped the hot fudge in the bag with a spoon and snipped the corner off.
Then I just applied pressure and squeezed the hot fudge over the bourbon root beer float.

Drinking for stress relief! That sounds like a good habit to pick up. :) My usual stress reliever is ice cream, so this float is kind of perfect.
