Instructions:
1. Prepare the glasses
Set out tall glasses for serving.
If you want the floats to stay colder longer, you can chill the glasses for a few minutes first.
2. Add the ice cream
Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each glass.
The ice cream should sit low enough in the glass that there is still room for the soda and toppings.
3. Pour in the orange soda
Slowly pour the orange soda over the ice cream.
Pour gently because the soda will foam up as it hits the ice cream.
4. Add the Sprite
Add a splash of Sprite to each glass.
This gives the floats extra fizz and a slightly lighter, more sparkling finish.
5. Add whipped cream
Top each float with whipped cream.
You can add a generous swirl if you want the drink to feel more like a dessert-shop treat.
6. Add the fruit topping
Top with mandarin oranges or orange slices.
This adds a fresh citrus look and makes the floats feel even more summery.
7. Finish with a cherry
Place a maraschino cherry on top of each float.
That final touch makes them look colorful, classic, and ready to serve.
8. Serve right away
Serve immediately with a straw, spoon, or both.
Creamy vanilla ice cream and bubbly orange soda create a nostalgic creamsicle flavor everyone loves. Made with simple ingredients, these easy floats are perfect for summer parties and sweet treats.
