The Secret Recipe Club is a great group of bloggers who like a challenge. The challenge is this: each month we are given an assignment to find a recipe in a specific blog, make it, and write about it. This month, I was give the blog Burnt Apple. The recipes there are so much fun! Traci writes that she feeds three children and a husband, all with special dietary conditions, and has a special BURNT section on her blog. I love it.
When I was looking through, I had a plan in mind, I was looking for a cheesecake because that is what I needed to make for my PEO Book Club that was coming up. No cheesecakes to be found, but I did find this Skillet Brownie and these Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Waffles that my son-in-law would love! But when I found this recipe for Dirty Root Beer, I knew I had a winner.
Some of you know or might remember, that I was a carhop at an A & W Root Beer stand in my home town. This was my high school job and I really loved it!
So never having heard of Dirty Root Beer before, I had to look it up. Evidently it is root beer with a shot of tequila. Yikes! So now I had to try two drinks! First up, the Dirty Root Beer.
Next, the Nonalcoholic Dirty Root Beer. I have to admit, this is more to my liking. Who doesn't love root beer and ice cream? The additional vanilla is awesome, too. Really smooths out the root beer, even A & W.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for the kind words and write up. Happy reveal day!
ReplyDeleteI adore root beer! Never though to add a shot of tequila to it though, but I have tried bourbon ;-)
ReplyDeleteRoot beer floats were always a special treat when I was growing up. Now I want one again. Happy Reveal Day!
ReplyDeleteYou could use vanilla vodka =)
ReplyDeleteKaren. You stopped me dead in my tracks. FABULOUS idea.
DeleteA&W Rootbeer is the best.
ReplyDeleteWe love a good root beer float in our house! It's been a while since I've made one, now you've got me craving one. I'm also intrigued about other dirty root beer, I love the vanilla vodka suggestion by Karen!
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm craving a root beer float. Will have to try the 'dirty root beer' idea using some of my new homemade vanilla extract which I just started using some vodka. Does that qualify as Vanilla vodka?
ReplyDeleteBrings back the good old days. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteSmells and tastes like wintergreen using two and a half shots tequila and A&W root beer!
ReplyDeleteOn the off chance that you start to have withdrawal indications when you quit drinking, at that point it is most secure to either tighten gradually, to look into a detox, or to get a few meds from your primary care physician to assist you with liquor withdrawal. malta drinks
