Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
- 2 tablespoons grenadine
- 1 maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Select a tall glass to accommodate the ice cream float and ensure enough room for the soda and toppings.
- Add ice cream: Place one generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream into the bottom of the glass.
- Pour soda: Slowly pour 1/2 cup of chilled lemon-lime soda over the ice cream so it begins to fizz and mix gently.
- Add grenadine: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of sweet grenadine syrup over the top of the float to add color and sweetness.
- Garnish: Finish by placing a maraschino cherry on top as a classic garnish.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon to enjoy the fizzy, creamy treat.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly scooped vanilla ice cream that is slightly softened.
- Use chilled lemon-lime soda to keep the float fizzy longer.
- Adjust grenadine amount to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
- This recipe serves one but can be scaled easily for more servings.
- Optional: Add a splash of lime juice for a tangy twist.
