When I was a kid, sometimes as a special treat Mom would
make ice cream floats for dessert. They were especially good if we had A&W
root beer on hand, which at the time could be bought at their restaurants in
large glass jugs.
So when I recently spotted a four pack of Mad Jack Hard
Root Beer in my grocery store I had to try it, even though I’d not been keen on
the original Mad Jack Premium Apple Lager. The combination of lager and apple
just didn’t work for me. I did like the root beer version, however. It made me
feel nostalgic and I started wondering how it would work paired with ice cream.
Quite well, actually! And no, I’m not being paid to write this up—I doubt the
company even knows this blog exists.
Hard Root Beer Float
Put two to three scoops of vanilla ice cream (depending
on the size of the glass) in a glass. Add Mad Jack Hard Root Beer. Serve with a
straw.
Then I discovered Mad Jack’s Premium Ginger Flavoured
Lager. Of the three, it’s probably the best to drink on its own. It also makes
a mean rhubarb cake. And not a bad float, either.
Lemon Ginger Float
Put two to three scoops of lemon sorbet or gelato in a
glass. Add Mad Jack Ginger Flavoured Lager. Serve with a straw.
