In the United States and Canada, the chain A&W Restaurants are well known for their root beer floats. The Friendly's chain also had a variation known as a "sherbet cooler," which was a combination of orange or rainbow sherbet and seltzer water. (Presently, it is billed as a "slammer".) The definition of a brown cow varies by region. For instance in some localities, a "root beer float" has strictly vanilla ice cream; a float made with root beer and chocolate ice cream is a "chocolate cow" or a "brown cow". source is wikipedia Root Beer Float Cupcakes 1 cup root beer schnapps 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned style root beer (like A&W or Dads) 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups dark brown sugar 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups all purpose flour 1 Tbs. baking powder 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt Root Beer Glaze 4 cups confectioners sugar 1/3 cup root beer 3 Tbs. root beer schnapps* 3 Tbs. vegetable oil 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 2. In a bowl, mix together root beer schnapps, root beer, and vanilla extract. Set aside. 3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 4. Add eggs, mix until smooth 5. Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. 6. Mix with hand mixer on low, while slowly pouring in root beer mixture. 7. Mix until smooth and lump free. 8. Pour into lined cupcake pan. (Use foil cupcake liners to avoid "leakage" later.) Fill nearly to the top, you may think it's over-filled, but it puffs up perfectly this way. Don't be tempted to use more than 24 cupcake cups. trust me. 9. Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until golden brown and cake springs back when touched. 10. While cupcakes are baking, prepare your butter cream and root beer glaze. For glaze, put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a whisk until smooth and lump free. 11. To assemble, start by letting cupcakes cool, still in the pan. 12. While still slightly warm, pour 1 Tbs. of root beer schnapps over each cupcake. Pour on slowly to allow schnapps (or regular root beer for the kiddies) to soak in. 13. Once the schnapps has soaked in and let sit for a few minutes, pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake. 14. When the glaze sets up a bit and isn't too runny, put a "scoop" of butter cream atop each. For an added touch, you can even place a root beer barrel candy on each one.
