Sweet Summer Floats

Summer is here! I’m excited for the warm weather, grilling outside, and some refreshing cold treats! Ice cream is always a summer staple around our house. Yesterday, I was able to show my kiddos how we can give our ice cream a twist. I showed them how to make floats! Traditional floats are made with root beer, which definitely a staple of ours, but I allowed the kids to pick the soda of their choice. So, we grabbed our sodas and vanilla ice cream from the Commissary and headed home to make our treats. 

Ingredients:

  • Favorite sodas
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions:

  • Scoop vanilla ice cream into your glass.
  • Pour soda over top of the ice cream, watch for foam to develop at the top so that you don’t overflow the glass.
  • Serve & Enjoy!

Notes:

  • You can use any soda! We have also tried grape, strawberry, and of course, root beer floats!
  • You can adjust your ice cream to soda ratio to your own preference. My family loves more ice cream while I prefer more soda.

We love having these all summer long, but the fun doesn’t stop when summer does! We enjoy these throughout the year too! I wonder what version you may try next?!?!
