Float Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry soda
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Garnishes
- Maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions
- Pour the soda: Pour 2 cups of cherry soda into a large glass, filling it about three-quarters full to leave room for the ice cream and toppings.
- Add ice cream: Place a generous scoop (about 1 cup) of vanilla ice cream gently on top of the soda, allowing it to float and create a creamy layer.
- Top with whipped cream: Add 1/2 cup of whipped cream on top of the ice cream to add a rich, airy texture and enhance the float’s indulgence.
- Garnish: Decorate the float with maraschino cherries and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a hint of fresh aroma.
- Serve immediately: Serve the float immediately with a straw for stirring and sipping before the ice cream melts completely.
Notes
- For extra fizz, use soda that is well chilled before serving.
- Vanilla ice cream with a rich creamy base will enhance the flavor of the float.
- You can substitute cherry soda with other fruit-flavored sodas to create variations.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor before the ice cream fully melts.
