Method
- Select tall glasses for your floats. Ensure they are clean and chilled beforehand if possible, as a cold glass will help keep your ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Add two to three generous scoops of slightly softened lemon lime ice cream to the bottom of each prepared glass. Don't overfill, as you'll need room for the soda. The slight softening allows for easier scooping and a better melt into the soda.2 cups high-quality lemon lime ice cream
- Gently and slowly pour the chilled lemon-lime soda over the ice cream. Pouring slowly is crucial to prevent excessive foaming and overflow. You'll see a delightful fizz as the soda interacts with the ice cream. Fill the glass to your desired level, leaving a little space at the top if you plan to add toppings.2 12-ounce cans lemon-lime soda, 2 cups high-quality lemon lime ice cream
- Immediately garnish your Lemon Lime Ice Cream Float as desired. A maraschino cherry is classic, while whipped cream adds extra indulgence. A fresh lime slice can add a visual pop and an extra hint of citrus. If you have lime syrup, a light drizzle can enhance the lime flavor.1 maraschino cherry, 1 whipped cream, 1 fresh lime slice, 1 lime syrup
- Serve your Lemon Lime Ice Cream Float right away with a long spoon and a straw for the best experience. The magic of an ice cream float is in its immediate, frothy, and delicious state!
Notes
The float itself is best consumed right after creation. Leftover ice cream can be stored in the freezer. Leftover, unopened soda should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a day or two.
