Rootbeer is one of those things that brings back a special memory in our house. For that reason alone I love this Root Beer Float Cupcake Recipe. The memory goes like this: My husband, daughter, and I were at Panda Express. My daughter was probably 3-4 years old at the time and we had ordered her a kids meal. She got to choose what she wanted to drink and she said, “Daddy I want Fruit Beer!” So in our house it isn’t Root Beer it is Fruit Beer!
