National Root Beer Float Day: The First Black Cow
With smooth vanilla ice cream, coppery root beer, and frothy foam, a root beer float is an all-American classic. Root beer was manufactured, bottled, and sold starting in 1880, and legend has it that thirteen years later, the root beer float, which is sometimes referred to as a black cow, was first invented. After glancing out the window late one night, Frank Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, was inspired to float a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of his glass of root beer.

This weekend I was checking out the recipes on TeamSugar and noticed that lately, you all have a been a bit cupcake crazy. There's been a bunch of innovative cupcake recipes like: sarahkushner's Red Wine & Chocolate Cupcakes, minko's Pear & Blue Cheese Cupcakes and Lychee Lemon Coconut Cupcakes, as well classics like laurafox's Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese.

Happy Hour: "Root Beer Float" Cocktail
If a regular root beer float is a little too tame for you, then I suggest you spice things up a bit with the grown-up version. Sure you could spike your root beer with bourbon, but why not take it to the next level? Why not indulge in a properly mixed drink that tastes just like a root beer float?
Root Beer Heaven
When I lived in Spain for two years, one of the things I missed most was root beer. This is quite odd because I'm not a huge root beer drinker, although I have been known to have one every few months with a hot dog or in the form of a root beer float. Anyways, when my dad became friends with a young American who worked on a US army base in Spain, he offered to buy me some root beer from the base so I could enjoy a taste of home.
Would You Use the Fizz Cup?
Yesterday I told you guys about the amazing Col-Pop device that allows you to hold soda and chicken nuggets at the same time. Most of you thought it was cool, so today I want to find out what you think of The Fizz Cup. It's the "ultimate on the go soda float device," and yet, something tells me it might be the only on the go soda float device.
Do You Ever Drink Wine With Ice?
Since I never enjoy my wine with ice (sangria doesn't count!), I was fascinated by a recent article in the Chicago Tribune where tasting panelists concluded certain wines actually taste better with a few ice cubes floating around in them. It got me to thinking whether I should start trying this unconventional wine drinking method — especially while the weather is still warm. Do you ever drink wine on ice?
Happy Hour: Watermelon-Tequila Cocktails
Since today is National Tequila Day (cheers!), I thought I'd share my latest obsession with you. While I'm a huge fan of the classic margarita combination of tequila and fresh-squeezed lime juice, it pales in comparison to the delightful pairing that is watermelon juice and tequila. I'm so crazy about this dynamic duo that I've already made three different cocktails with it.
