Root Beer Float Cupcakes

Now that the weather is warming up, I am reminded of the long summer days of my youth. And one of my favorite treats as a child (well, actually now, too!) was a cool root beer float. It's actually one of my fondest memories of my grandfather--the two of us sipping homemade root beer floats together on a warm summer evening. And now my love of root beer floats has translated into an awesome cupcake for you!
