Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
  • 2 tablespoons grenadine
  • 1 maraschino cherry for garnish


Instructions

  1. Add Ice Cream: Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass, providing the creamy base for the float.
  2. Pour Soda: Slowly pour half a cup of lemon-lime soda over the ice cream to create effervescent bubbles and blend flavors.
  3. Drizzle Grenadine: Drizzle two tablespoons of grenadine syrup over the top to add sweetness and a vibrant red color.
  4. Garnish: Add a maraschino cherry on top for a classic and colorful garnish.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy the refreshing, fizzy, and creamy dessert float.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the glass beforehand to keep the float colder longer.
  • You can substitute lemon-lime soda with ginger ale or a similar clear soda for a slightly different flavor.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce grenadine to 1 tablespoon.
  • This recipe can be easily multiplied for more servings.
