As we head into summer, my hubby and I have been trying more cocktail combinations. Nothing better than sipping a cold cocktail in the evenings when warm weather arrives!
I prefer simple cocktails, as you will notice by scrolling through the blog! Using only 2 ingredients, this is just that!
If you haven’t tried RumChata, I recommend doing so. Its a blend of vanilla, cinnamon, Rum, and cream! Check out my other Rumchata drinks here.
By combining it with root beer, you have the adult version of a root beer float. Creamy, fizzy, and flavorful….you even get the froth on top as you would in a classic float!
My hubby prepared these a few nights back as we were waiting on dinner to finish cooking! It was simple, refreshing, and the perfect way to head into the evening!
To be honest, soda really isn’t my thing. Very rarely do I drink it, but root beer….has definitely got to be a favorite “soda”. When my hubby mentioned wanting to try these, I was hesitant because of my lack of fondness to soda in general. He assured me I would love it and that I did! This is currently my new fav! If you want to save on calories, you can also try this with diet root beer!
If you have company over, this is a good drink to offer because its 2 simple ingredients!
Enjoy my RumChata Root Beer Floats, but please drink responsibly! Let me know what you think if you try it, I love hearing from you!

Can you make this in large amounts like a punch bowl
Kristin
Absolutely! Just give it a stir before serving! Make sure it is used up fairly soon as you don’t want the carbonation to decrease!
Tressie Lee Capozzelli
Yummy!!! Can’t sip it, I drank that first one right down.
Thanks for sharing. Next will be the cinnamon toast crunch!!
Kristin
Yay! Glad you enjoyed! Keep me posted what you think of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots too!!

I like dr.pepper cream soda with mcgillcuddy root beer and rumchatta together and it’s delicious
Kristin
Ooooo, that sounds incredible! I will need to try that!
Sandi
I even used coal. That also tasted good.
Kristin
Glad you enjoyed!!
Kelly Smith
Taste awesome exactly like a rootbeer float
Kristin
Right?!? Glad you enjoyed!!
greg
1 thing missing. A Float contains Iceream. Before anyone says it i know I could just add icecream. But you can’t call it a float if icecream is not part of the recipe.
Kristin
Yes! I totally agree! This is more the “taste” of a float, versus on actual float. You can also use cream soda to enhance the float taste, or of course, add in a scoop of ice-cream!
Brock Liggitt
I use not your father’s root beer
Kristin
Ooooo, yum! I love that too!!
Valorie
Try adding butterscotch schnapps to the root beer and run chata and it’s amazing!!!
Kristin
Oh yum!! That sounds incredible! I am trying that soon, thanks!
Mike
Is one part a shot glass?
Kristin
One part is more of a ratio. In this case, I used one part as a shot, however, one part is an inexact measurement. It can mean, for example, 1 ounce, 1 tablespoon or 1 cup. The key is keeping all “parts” equal
Dorothy
Very good?
Kristin
Oh yes, a favorite of mine for sure!
SHIRLEY G KEELS
Where can I purchase RumChata???
Kristin
Any liquor store should have it!
RICHARD
I THINK I WILL LIKE THIS DRINK.
Kristin
Be sure to let me know if you try it and what you think! Enjoy!
Jane thibeault
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream…YUMMM
Kristin
Great idea! I need to definitely try that next time!
Mike
Some people!
1 part to 3 parts IS an exact measurement depending on how much you are making.
Don’t be a idiot!
1oz. To 3 Oz.
1cup to 3 cups
1 gallon. To 3 gallons.
Mary
Is that one cup Rum Chata and 3 cups Root Beer?
Kristin
One part is an inexact measurement. It can mean, for example, 1 ounce, 1 tablespoon or 1 cup. The key is keeping all “parts” equal. In this recipe, I use 1 oz RumChata, 3 oz. Root Beer typically, but if making more, I increase accordingly!
