Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces vanilla ice cream
- 1 ounce grenadine
- 8 ounces lemon lime soda
Optional Garnishes
- Maraschino cherries
- Lime wedges
- Whipped topping
- Pink sanding sugar
Instructions
- Place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill and help keep your float colder longer once assembled.
- Scoop 8 ounces of vanilla ice cream into the bottom of a tall glass to serve as the creamy base of the float.
- Slowly drizzle 1 ounce of grenadine over the ice cream to add sweetness and a beautiful red color.
- Gently pour 8 ounces of lemon lime soda over the ice cream and grenadine mixture to create fizz without causing excessive foam spillover.
- Top with a dollop of whipped topping, a maraschino cherry, a slice of lime, and a sprinkle of pink sanding sugar for an elegant finish. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This float is best enjoyed immediately as the ice cream will melt quickly.
- Not recommended to make ahead; assemble just before serving to maintain fizz and texture.
- Chill your glasses and prepare garnishes in advance to save time without compromising quality.
- Pour soda gently to control foam and avoid overflow.
- Keep all ingredients separate until ready to build to preserve freshness.
