Float Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla or chocolate ice cream (per glass)
- 0.75 cup cherry cola or cherry soda
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa sauce
- 1 tbsp maraschino cherry juice (optional)
Toppings and Garnishes
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the Glasses: Place tall soda glasses or milkshake jars in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling to keep your float extra frosty and creamy.
- Prepare the Glass: Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the chilled glass, letting it streak down the sides. Add 1 tablespoon of syrup to the bottom of each glass for extra chocolate flavor.
- Add Ice Cream and Cherry Juice: Scoop 2 scoops of your chosen ice cream into each glass. If desired, pour 1 tablespoon of maraschino cherry juice over the ice cream to enhance the cherry flavor.
- Pour Cherry Soda: Slowly pour the cherry cola or soda over the ice cream, being careful to avoid overflow. Let the soda fizz and naturally mix with the syrup and ice cream.
- Top the Float: Generously top each float with whipped cream, then add more chocolate syrup, chocolate shavings or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
- Serve: Serve immediately with a spoon and straw to enjoy the full float experience with both creamy and fizzy textures.
Notes
- For a stronger chocolate taste, use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla.
- Chilling the glasses beforehand helps maintain the float’s creamy texture longer.
- Adjust the amount of cherry juice or chocolate syrup based on your preference for sweetness and tartness.
- You can substitute cherry cola with any cherry-flavored soda you like.
- Serve immediately after assembly for best texture and presentation as the soda will fizz and melt the ice cream over time.
