- 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
- 2 ounces of Root Beer Schnapps

- Whipped cream and a cherry for the top (optional, but why not?)
Start by putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a mug or tall glass. Then, pour the Root Beer Schnapps over the top, followed by the root beer.

- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (if you want it sweeter)
