Root Beer Slushy: The Frozen Float, Reimagined

Root Beer Slushy: The Frozen Float, Reimagined

The taste of a root beer float, minus the ice cream and the melt-through. Real sarsaparilla, star anise, and molasses in our Genuine Root Beer Syrup give this frozen version the flavor of the diner classic — just in a form you can carry to the pool.
