Mug Shot Root Beer Float Burger
The Mug Shot Root Beer Float Burger is a bold tribute to BBQ and diner nostalgia. Built on a pretzel bun, this burger layers scooped goat cheese for a creamy “ice cream” effect, vanilla bean caramelized onions, and a rich drizzle of Mug Shot Root Beer BBQ Sauce. The sauce brings deep molasses sweetness and smoky root beer flavor that ties every element together. It’s a playful, flavor-packed spin on two American icons - no spoon required.
