The definition of a black cow varies by region. In the United States and Canada, the chain A&W Restaurants are well known for their root beer floats. The similarly flavored soft drink birch beer may also be used instead of root beer. Wisner, owner of Colorado's Cripple Creek Brewing, is credited with creating the first root beer float on August 19, 1893. This drink is prepared similarly to a chocolate ice cream soda, but with strawberry syrup and strawberry (or vanilla) ice cream used instead.Īlso known as a "black cow" or "brown cow", the root beer float is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream and root beer, but it can also be made with other ice cream flavors. This variation of ice cream soda was available at local soda fountains and nationally, at Dairy Queen stores for many years.Ī similar soda made with chocolate syrup but vanilla ice cream is sometimes called a "black and white" ice cream soda. The final touch is a topping of whipped cream and usually, a maraschino cherry. Unflavored carbonated water is added until the glass is filled and the resulting foam rises above the top of the glass. This ice cream soda starts with approximately 1 oz of chocolate syrup, then several scoops of chocolate ice cream in a tall glass.

In the United States, an "ice cream soda" typically refers to the drink containing soda water, syrup, and ice cream, whereas a "float" is generally ice cream in a soft drink (usually root beer). In El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Colombia it is called vaca negra (black cow), while in Puerto Rico it is referred to as a "black out". In Mexico, it is known as "helado flotante" ("floating ice cream") or "flotante".
In Scotland, the addition of ice cream to IRN BRU is popular. In the UK and Ireland, it is usually referred to as an "ice-cream float" or simply a "float", as "coke" is often used generically to refer to any cola in the United Kingdom, and "soda" is usually taken to mean soda water, sweetened carbonated drinks instead being collectively called "soft drinks", "(fizzy) pop" or "fizzy juice". It is traditionally made using either lime or pink creaming soda. In Australia and New Zealand, an ice cream float is known as a "spider" because once the carbonation hits the ice cream it forms a spider web-like reaction. Guy is said to have absentmindedly mixed ice cream and soda in 1872, much to his customer's delight. There are at least three other claimants for the invention of the root beer float: Fred Sanders, Philip Mohr, and George Guy, one of Robert Green's own employees.
Green's will instructed that "Originator of the Ice Cream Soda" was to be engraved on his tombstone. The new treat was a sensation and soon other soda fountains began selling ice cream floats. During the celebration, he sold vanilla ice cream with soda and a choice of 16 flavored syrups. After some experimentation, he decided to combine ice cream and flavored soda. His own account, published in Soda Fountain magazine in 1910, states that while operating a soda fountain at the celebration, he wanted to create a new treat to attract customers away from another vendor who had a larger, fancier soda fountain. The traditional story is that, on a particularly hot day, Green ran out of ice for the flavored drinks he was selling and used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor, inventing a new drink. The ice cream float was invented by Robert McCay Green in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1874 during the Franklin Institute's semicentennial celebration.
