Ever since Punxsutawney Phil declared six more weeks of winter, many spirits have been down thinking of the colder temperatures and dreary days yet to come. However, while we may be weeks away from longer daylight and sunnier weather, our favorite brands are getting us quite excited for the summertime months ahead.Â
It seems this year, summer is all about the sips with dozens of new beverages launching across tea, soda, and alcohol categories. The canned cocktail companies have declared Blueberry Lemonade the flavor of the summer, with both Surfside and Sun Cruiser launching new Blueberry Lemonade spiked drinks. Dr Pepper is bringing back its tropical
Creamy Coconut flavor
. Snapple is releasing its Two Hundred Fif-Tea Party raspberry-lemonade-flavored tea for America's 250th anniversary. 7UP has a Kroger-exclusive Endless Summer Mandarin Orange Soda. And A&W is following up
Mug's springtime release of Root Beer Floats Vanilla Howler Soda
with its own Root Beer Float flavor.
A&W To Release New Root Beer Float Soda This Summer
Allrecipes / A&W
With
dirty soda flavors
continuing to grow, mainstream brands have joined the likes of soda shops Swig and Cool Sips to bring creamy, sweet soda to the masses. Dr Pepper all but started the mad dash to get dirty soda on shelves with its Creamy Coconut flavor, and now,
Mountain Dew
,
Pepsi
, and Mug have followed suit.
So, with Mug's new Root Beer Floats line of sodas coming to shelves soon, it's only natural that Keurig Dr Pepper's A&W is hitting back with its own creamy, vanilla option.Â
A&W's new Root Beer Float soda features a blend of
sassafras and licorice-flavored
, earthy root beer with the "vanilla-kissed" flavor and creamy mouthfeel of
vanilla ice cream
. It's meant to emanate the flavors of a classic diner root beer float, without the need for a spoon.
This new Root Beer Float-flavored A&W soda is a direct follow-up to the
Ice Cream Sundae-flavored soda
, which included hints of hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, sprinkles, and cherry, that A&W launched last summer. The limited-edition Root Beer Float soda is dropping just in time for summer, and will hit shelves in both a classic and zero-sugar variety in July.Â
Even though there are still months to go before you'll see Root Beer Float A&W in stores, fans are already excited.
"I need the root beer float ASAP," one user commented on a
@snachwithzach post
.
"I can't wait for that root beer float," another Instagram user wrote on
@snackolator's post
.
The wait may seem long now, but before you know it, you'll be planning your Fourth of July barbecue with an ice-cold A&W Root Beer Float in hand.

Ever since Punxsutawney Phil declared six more weeks of winter, many spirits have been down thinking of the colder temperatures and dreary days yet to come. However, while we may be weeks away from longer daylight and sunnier weather, our favorite brands are getting us quite excited for the summertime months ahead.
It seems this year, summer is all about the sips with dozens of new beverages launching across tea, soda, and alcohol categories. The canned cocktail companies have declared Blueberry Lemonade the flavor of the summer, with both Surfside and Sun Cruiser launching new Blueberry Lemonade spiked drinks. Dr Pepper is bringing back its tropical [Creamy Coconut flavor](https://www.allrecipes.com/creamy-coconut-dr-pepper-returns-11730108). Snapple is releasing its Two Hundred Fif-Tea Party raspberry-lemonade-flavored tea for America's 250th anniversary. 7UP has a Kroger-exclusive Endless Summer Mandarin Orange Soda. And A\&W is following up [Mug's springtime release of Root Beer Floats Vanilla Howler Soda](https://www.allrecipes.com/new-mug-root-beer-floats-vanilla-howler-11829602) with its own Root Beer Float flavor.
## A\&W To Release New Root Beer Float Soda This Summer
Allrecipes / A\&W
With [dirty soda flavors](https://www.allrecipes.com/what-is-dirty-soda-unofficial-drink-of-utah-8715974) continuing to grow, mainstream brands have joined the likes of soda shops Swig and Cool Sips to bring creamy, sweet soda to the masses. Dr Pepper all but started the mad dash to get dirty soda on shelves with its Creamy Coconut flavor, and now, [Mountain Dew](https://www.allrecipes.com/new-dirty-mountain-dew-cream-soda-dew-11830876), [Pepsi](https://www.allrecipes.com/pepsi-wild-cherry-and-cream-revamp-11862189), and Mug have followed suit.
So, with Mug's new Root Beer Floats line of sodas coming to shelves soon, it's only natural that Keurig Dr Pepper's A\&W is hitting back with its own creamy, vanilla option.
A\&W's new Root Beer Float soda features a blend of [sassafras and licorice-flavored](https://www.allrecipes.com/what-is-root-beer-8608095), earthy root beer with the "vanilla-kissed" flavor and creamy mouthfeel of [vanilla ice cream](https://www.allrecipes.com/pro-bakers-favorite-vanilla-ice-cream-8756851). It's meant to emanate the flavors of a classic diner root beer float, without the need for a spoon.
This new Root Beer Float-flavored A\&W soda is a direct follow-up to the [Ice Cream Sundae-flavored soda](https://www.allrecipes.com/a-and-w-new-ice-cream-sundae-soda-11781896), which included hints of hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, sprinkles, and cherry, that A\&W launched last summer. The limited-edition Root Beer Float soda is dropping just in time for summer, and will hit shelves in both a classic and zero-sugar variety in July.
Even though there are still months to go before you'll see Root Beer Float A\&W in stores, fans are already excited.
"I need the root beer float ASAP," one user commented on a [@snachwithzach post](https://www.instagram.com/p/DU5vISOkVU1/).
"I can't wait for that root beer float," another Instagram user wrote on [@snackolator's post](https://www.instagram.com/p/DU6IdqNCZlo/).
The wait may seem long now, but before you know it, you'll be planning your Fourth of July barbecue with an ice-cold A\&W Root Beer Float in hand.
