While vanilla is a great base for the root beer, since its flavor elevates and complements the oaky, sasparilla notes in the soda, blueberry or huckleberry ice cream is also a viable option for this upgraded classic.

Scoop the vanilla ice cream into a mug or beer stein. Firmly press it down. Editor's Tip: There's a lot of debate around what goes in the mug first: the root beer or the ice cream. Well, in order to prevent overflowing and get the perfect creamy texture, add the ice cream and then pour over the fizzy root beer.

A pint of ice cream contains four servings, presumably meant to be eaten by four different people or on four separate occasions. But sometimes it feels absolutely necessary to combine those four servings into one portion and eat the whole thing at once.

Generally, an ice cream scoop is 1/2 cup of ice cream or 4 ounces. There are usually 32 scoops in a gallon of ice cream, and about 4 scoops in a pint.

Vanilla: Vanilla bean paste and homemade vanilla sugar added a better dimension of flavor and more sweetness to the soda. Using vanilla extract will NOT be enough flavor. However, you could scrape the seeds out of a vanilla bean pod and combine it with the extract to achieve rich vanilla flavor.

To avoid to much foam when pouring the root beer, tilt the glass on an angle and pour it slow.

Here are a few ideas: Vanilla ice cream is the classic root beer float floater, but you can also use chocolate ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, or even coffee ice cream for a different flavor profile.

For each person arriving, you should have at least three half-cup (four-ounce) scoops. That totals to 1-1/2 cups of ice cream per person. For example, if you're having 12 guests come to your party, you're going to need 1-1/4 gallons of ice cream (144 ounces, or nine pints).

How do you calculate ice cream per person? ›

If you want to avoid having too little or too much ice cream (is there such a thing?!), plan out how much you'll need per person. Jenn suggests accounting for 1 1/2 cups of ice cream per person. (To get an idea of what that means, note that a gallon of ice cream contains about 16 cups!)

An average scoop shop serving of ice cream is about three ounces by volume, or 3/16ths of a pint, so if you want to give 30 people each one serving of ice cream, count on making four quarts (one gallon).

For example, if you are serving 15 people and you want to serve chocolate and vanilla, 90 ounces of each is sufficient. With this estimate, two gallons of each would be more than enough to satisfy your guests. KaleidoScoops offers a wide range of premium, hand dipped ice cream flavors and ice cream products.
