This fizzy, creamy drink is made by combining root beer with vanilla ice cream. But how did this treat come to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story goes back to 1893 in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Frank J. Wisner, the owner of a mining company, was inspired by the snowy peaks of Cow Mountain. One night, he decided to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to his root beer, creating a frothy, delicious drink. He called it the &#8220;Black Cow Mountain&#8221; but eventually, the name was shortened to &#8220;black cow&#8221; and became popular as the root beer float we know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrating National Root Beer Float Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There are many fun and simple ways to celebrate National Root Beer Float Day!
