Ice Cream Float

Ice cream floats are one of my absolute favorite indulgences. I don't normally drink soda, but for some reason when it's mixed with ice cream, it transforms into magic in a glass.

These beauties are super simple to make. Let's go...

Supplies

  • Ice Cream (I like to use vanilla, but I've heard that chocolate is also worth trying.)
  • Pop, a.k.a. Soda (Root Beer and Orange Cream are my faves, but others to try are Cherry & Cola)
  • Glasses
  • Ice Cream Scoop
  • Straws and/or Spoons
  • Garnish, if desired

Pour Some Sugar

Fill your glass(es) up with soda approximately two thirds of the way.

Next, add one big scoop of ice cream for a shorter glass and one and a half to two scoops to larger glasses.

Go With the Flow

My ice cream eyes were bigger than my glass! I never cry over this kind of spilled milk. These tasty treats are best when they're a bit messy.

Be sure to experiment with different sodas and ice cream flavors until you find your own magic combo!

Enjoy!
