The ice cream is reported to feature the signature sweet and earthy flavor of [root beer soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mug-root-beer-floats) and can be enjoyed on its own with your choice of toppings folded in, if desired. The ice cream is also being used as the base for the Go With the Float and the Root Beer Revival Creation for an added touch of indulgence. The Root Beer Revival Creation starts off with the ice cream folded with chocolate chips and caramel before being finished with whipped topping, while the Go With the Float is a classic take on the signature drink. Cold Stone Creamery Root Beer Ice Cream is on the menu through August 2025.
