Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 cup Ginger ale
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional, for garnish)
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
In a pitcher, combine the fresh orange juice, honey, and grated ginger. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the ginger ale to the mixture and gently stir to combine. Make sure not to stir too vigorously to retain the carbonation.
Prepare two tall glasses. Add three ice cubes to each glass.
Pour the orange ginger mixture evenly into the glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
Add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to each glass, allowing it to float on top of the liquid.
If desired, sprinkle a little orange zest on top of the ice cream for extra flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon, and enjoy the delightful combination of citrus, ginger, and creamy ice cream.
