Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Cola
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tbsp Whipped cream
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
Instructions
Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting to keep your float nice and cold.
Remove the glass from the freezer and pour about half of the cola (6 oz) into the glass to prevent overflowing later.
Carefully add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to the glass.
Slowly pour the remaining cola (6 oz) over the ice cream. Pouring gently will help minimize foam overflow.
Top the drink with a dollop of whipped cream, about 2 tablespoons, for added creaminess.
Garnish the float with a maraschino cherry on top for a classic touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long-handled spoon for sipping and scooping.
