"I use this to make root beer float cupcakes. I put some in my cake batter and also in my frosting. Love it!"  Megan Berger

We were making a tub of root beer, carbonated homemade root beer for our party, and tried several brands of flavor. This is the one we liked best. It was just a better, sweeter flavor. And it's twice the size of what we found elsewhere.

********************************************

This is the flavor of my youth. After the Friday night ball games, we would drive up and down the boulevard in Stevie's Ford, spotting all the pretty girls. If we knew them and were brave enough, we would honk or wave. After the requisite number of trips up and down the boulevard, we would pull into the drive-in where another pretty girl would take our order.

I was shy. I never got a date doing that, but I had lots of root beer. And it was a fun time with our buddies.

This is a fun flavor. Use your imagination and you'll have a lot of fun with it.  These ideas will get you started.


Old Fashioned Carbonated Root Beer

Caution:  Handling and using dry ice can be dangerous.  Please read the safety precautions before proceeding.

Directions

  1. In a large container, mix the sugar and about half of the water together.  Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.  Add about the root beer flavor and the reminder of the water.  There should be several inches of headroom in the top of the container to allow for gaseous expansion. 
  2. Taste the beverage for flavor and sweetness.  Different brands of root beer flavor will differ in concentration.   You will likely want to add the remainder of the flavor but taste it first.  You may want to add more sugar.
  3. Being very careful not too touch the dry ice, with gloves, add the dry ice.  (Dry ice will burn badly when it comes in contact with your skin.)
  4. Loosely cover the container and let your root beer brew.  As the dry ice “melts” it turns to CO2, a gas, with a much higher volume.  The gas in the liquid creates the carbonation.  If the lid is tight, the expanding gas will cause the container to explode.  If the container is not covered, the gas will escape without carbonating the beverage. 

Some gas must escape and the expanding gas must be able to “lift” the lid without the vessel exploding.  Do not use a tight fitting, air tight lid.  Set the lid on the top without fastening it down.  Monitor the venting carefully. 

Your beverage should be carbonated in about an hour. 

Yield:  About five gallons

Safety Precautions: Misuse of dry ice may be harmful or fatal.

See the complete precautions.

  1. Supervise children careful when using dry ice.
  2. Use in a well-ventilated location.  Dry ice ‘melts” to create CO2. If you are transporting or storing dry ice in the car, ventilate the car.  If you have trouble catching your breath or if you begin breathing rapidly, your room is not ventilated enough.  Leave the room immediately.
  3. Use cotton gloves or towels to handle the dry ice.  Do not let the dry ice touch your skin.
  4. Store dry ice in an insulated container.  Do not put a tight lid on the container or the increasing gas pressure may cause the container to explode.

Other Carbonated Beverages

It's not just root beer that you can make; you can carbonate almost anything.  If you carbonate frozen juices, that's better than you can buy. Any of the packaged punch drinks can be carbonated.
