By now, the Buffalo Trace Root beer Float isn’t exactly a secret. 4 parts root beer, 2 parts Buffalo Trace bourbon cream and it’s delicious.
We’re not satisfied. So we tweaked the recipe just a tad. We substitute hard root beer for standard root beer, and it’s fantastic. It adds just a touch more alcohol to the flavor, making this a cold and creamy alcoholic treat.
