Taking Candy From a Baby: Root Beer Float Cocktail
Candy Dominoes, delicious treats that won’t threaten your relationship with blue jeans.
I discovered these little guys in the toy section of Jonathan Wright and Company (my favorite stationery shop), and used them as decorations at an adult birthday party. The nostalgic images are retro in a way that makes grown-ups want to play with them (and play with them), but sturdy enough for a two year old to smash (and smash).
As a game, match the bright, candy tiles end to end until a player wins. As party decorations, sprinkle them all over the table to whimsical effect.

To keep the game interesting, play while sipping on a grown-up Root Beer Float. This cocktail was inspired by the soda fountain feel of the dominoes, and is a great example of how a small design choice can influence the overall theme of an event.
Root Beer Float Cocktail
1 ½ oz Original Grey Goose Vodka
1 oz Root Beer Schnapps
¼ oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
¼ Crème de Cacao
Vanilla Ice Cream
Splash of Cream Soda
Put Vodka, Schnapps, and Root Beer Schnapps in a Boston Shaker over ice. Shake until chilled. Pour entire contents into a tall glass. Finish with a splash of cream soda, and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. (A cookie dough scoop, or melon baller creates the perfect sized scoop for this cocktail.) Add a straw and enjoy!
