🥄 Pro Tips from the Float Wizard:
Scoop smart: Freeze your glasses and soften the ice cream slightly before scooping = max creaminess.
Root beer matters: Use a high-quality or small-batch brew to upgrade the whole experience.
Garnish game: Never underestimate a rim of crushed cookies, sprinkles, or edible glitter. 🌟
