Happy Christmas Boozy Root Beer Float

When you’re scrolling through listings of annual holiday specials to watch, surely the classic favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas will come to mind. Remember when Charlie Brown confessed to Lucy that he just didn’t feel right about Christmas? The beloved character was feeling depressed about what the season had turned into. Before you find yourself feeling the same way, set aside time to stream this seasonal favorite with our Happy Christmas Boozy Root Beer Float, inspired by the time-honored cartoon, in hand. It’s a wintry spin on a spiked float with a hint of minty flavor.

Modifications for Your Boozy Root Beer Float

If you want, you can modify the recipe for kids or non-drinkers in your life by eliminating the alcohol and adding a 2 tsp of 1883 Maison Routin Peppermint Syrup. If you’re not a fan of Grey Goose, some other liquors you can try are bourbon and rum, which fortify the flavor of the root beer. Kahlua or other coffee liqueur can also pair nicely with root beer.
