Like peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese and tomato soup, not many food combos are as iconic as root beer and ice cream. And now Blue Bell is allowing root beer float enthusiasts the chance to enjoy an A&W Root Beer Float Ice Cream, available for purchase in 23 states that have locations selling Blue Bell items.
"We have received many requests for an A&W Root Beer Float Ice Cream," said John Neal Robinson, Blue Bell Sales Manager via press release. "After the huge success of Dr Pepper Ice Cream last year, we were ready to work together on another delicious flavor. We recommend enjoying a few scoops in a chilled mug just like your favorite root beer."
Taking a look at the product, it is a delicious-sounding ice cream mixed with an A&W Root Beer flavored sherbert. As far as sizing goes, the Root Beer float Ice Cream is available in half-gallon and pint sizes through 2025, meaning there is plenty of time to try this one.
Although I am more of a Barq's fan, there is something tasty about how A&W mixes with ice cream, especially when you consider that Root Beer Floats have been at the A&W restaurant for a long time.
In addition, Blue Bell already had a winner with the Dr. Pepper Ice Cream- one that made sense with the company being Texas-based. Now, they're stepping up to the plate with a proven winner in the root beer float, one of the more iconic American treats.
For anyone who is not in the states that sell Blue Bell products, don't fret. The company ships its products nationwide, meaning you can purchase the Root Beer Float Ice Cream and other delicious flavors at ordericecream.bluebell.com.
If you are last-minute Memorial Day cookout shopping and want a dessert to pair with the hotdogs and burgers, the latest collaboration by Blue Bell might be a great place to start.
