Float Ingredients
- 2 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup orange soda (chilled)
- 1/2 cup cola (chilled)
Garnish
- Whipped topping or whipped cream (for garnish)
- Orange slice or cherry (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Scoop the Ice Cream: Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to a tall glass or float mug, creating the creamy base for your float.
- Pour the Orange Soda: Slowly pour chilled orange soda over the ice cream until it begins to fizz and the ice cream starts to melt slightly, blending the flavors.
- Add the Cola: Gently top off the float with chilled cola to “dirty” it, adding a deeper, more complex flavor to the beverage.
- Garnish: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Enhance the presentation and flavor by garnishing with a slice of orange or a cherry, if desired.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your float immediately while it is cold, creamy, and fizzy for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use chilled sodas to keep the float cold and fizzy longer.
- For a stronger flavor, adjust the ratio of orange soda to cola according to taste.
- You can substitute vanilla ice cream with a dairy-free option to make it vegan.
- Serve with a straw and a long spoon for easy sipping and scooping.
- Ideal for warm weather or as a nostalgic treat reminiscent of classic soda fountains.
