📜 History

The Black Cow, also known as a root beer float, is an American soda fountain classic dating to the late 19th century. Legend credits Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado with inventing the drink in 1893 when he noticed that the snowy peaks of Cow Mountain reminded him of vanilla ice cream. The combination of root beer and vanilla ice cream became an instant hit at soda fountains across America, spawning numerous variations that remain popular today.
