Cognac Root Beer Floats - A Great Summertime Treat For Grownups.


Let us enjoy the warmth of the Sun, the conversation of good company and the smiles of our loved ones as the day turns into a beautiful evening. It may be Monday, but any day can be turned into a good memory, with the right ingredients. Pour up a few of these Grown Up Root Beer Floats and Enjoy the moment.

Ingredients
1 Orange
1 oz Heavy Cream
2.5 oz Bourbon or Cognac (preferably Hennessy Black)
2 dashes Orange Bitters (sold at most liquor stores and major grocery stores)
¾ cup Root Beer
1 heaping scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)


Directions:
Use a vegetable peeler to remove a long piece of zest from the orange, working your way around the fruit.
Combine the bourbon and bitters in a tall glass.
Twist the orange zest over the glass to release the oils, then drop it in.
Fill the glass halfway with ice.
Add the scoop of ice cream, if using.
Add the root beer.
Slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon into the glass so it floats on top.
