We received samples and a gift card from A&W Root Beer to buy supplies for this blog post. All opinions are our own.
Family Night in the summer is so different in our family from family night during the year, because during the summer our extended family can get together. This week, our family has flown from Seattle to Destin Florida to enjoy the beach where my mom lives.
My Uncle Thomas brought his girlfriend and my cousins with their kids from Texas which brings our family count to 16 and it’s insane and crazy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We are all split between two rooms. 9 total adults and 7 children with two of those being babies. So yeah, we’re quite the rowdy bunch.
Today is National Root Beer Float Day and A&W has a long history of creating family memories. Last night we created some memories with vanilla ice cream and A&W’s Original Root Beer Float. I bought some A&W Root Beer and some A&W diet Root Beer with the gift card they gave me and we made brownies too.
I have to say that A&W is actually our family favorite Root Beer. The unique, creamy taste of A&W Root Beer is a simple treat that creates fun, care-free experiences for families and can help make any moment special. My uncle Thomas and his girlfriend last night told me that A&W is one of the only brands where their diet version is just as good if not better than the regular version. It was in his top three diet sodas.
A&W Root Beer helped us create the perfect timeless family night treat: an A&W Root Beer Float! I think we ended up making 8 floats total and everyone was all smiles. 
Even the babies were having a good night. We talked for hours while the kids were out on the balcony watching the sunset and eating their Root Beer Floats. 
My daughter she filled every glass with ice cream and then poured the A&W Root Beer over the ice cream. For some of them, I think brownie pieces were thrown in. If you need any “float how-tos” and recipe ideas please visit, www.rootbeer.com.
