Ingredients
  

For the soda float

  • 1 cup cherry soda (chilled) Brand or craft soda both work.
  • 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream One generous scoop; use good-quality vanilla.
  • whipped cream For topping.
  • maraschino cherries For garnish.
  • ice For serving.

Instructions
 

Assembly

  • Fill a tall glass halfway with ice.
  • Pour 1 cup of chilled cherry soda over the ice slowly to keep the fizz manageable.
  • Gently add a 1/2 cup scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the soda, allowing it to float and foam.
  • Spoon or spray whipped cream on the ice cream and finish with a maraschino cherry for garnish.
  • Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.

Notes

For best results, chill your glass for 10-15 minutes before assembly. Use a tilted glass to reduce overflow while the soda foams.
