Bartender's Root BeerCocktail recipe
Rating
The Bartender's Root Beer is a playful and easy-going cocktail that mimics the classic flavors of root beer with an adult twist. Featuring the deep, rich notes of coffee liqueur and the herbal sweetness of Galliano, the cocktail is topped off with cola and soda water to create a refreshing and effervescent drink.
This concoction is often served in a highball glass, providing a visually appealing and thirst-quenching experience that's ideal for casual gatherings or as a relaxed end-of-day sipper. Its unique blend of ingredients delivers a familiar yet distinctly complex taste profile that subtly nods to the nostalgic soda fountain treats.

FAQ's
How do I properly stir the Bartender's Root Beer to achieve the best taste?
To properly stir the Bartender's Root Beer, fill your highball glass with ice, then add the coffee liqueur and Galliano first. Slowly pour in the cola and soda water to maintain their carbonation.

Can I substitute the coffee liqueur in Bartender's Root Beer for a non-alcoholic alternative?
