6. Root Beer Float
Root beer floats are fun and refreshing to make. Add a bit of chocolate and they are even better. Pour 6 ounces root beer into a tumbler fountain glass. Add 2 scoops vanilla ice cream and drizzle 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup over ice cream. Serve with both a long spoon and a straw. For a grown-up version, substitute chocolate liqueur for the syrup.
7. Garlic Bread
Sprinkle a halved loaf with olive oil, chopped garlic, oregano, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, then wrap in foil and bake.
