- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
- 2 tablespoons grenadine
- 1 maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Take a tall glass and make sure it is clean and chilled if possible to keep the float cold longer.
- Add vanilla ice cream: Place one generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream carefully into the bottom of the glass.
- Pour lemon-lime soda: Slowly pour 1/2 cup of cold lemon-lime soda over the vanilla ice cream to create fizz and bubbles without overflowing.
- Drizzle grenadine: Add 2 tablespoons of grenadine syrup on top to provide the signature sweet and fruity flavor and a beautiful red hue.
- Garnish and serve: Place one maraschino cherry on top as a garnish. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the classic float.
Notes
- For extra fizz, pour the soda slowly to avoid spilling.
- You can substitute lemon-lime soda with ginger ale or club soda for a twist.
- Use homemade grenadine for a more natural flavor.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
- Serve immediately as the ice cream will melt quickly.
