Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
- 1 oz grenadine syrup
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Add Grenadine and Ice In a tall glass, add the grenadine syrup, followed by a handful of ice cubes. The grenadine adds the signature sweet cherry flavor and beautiful pink color.
Step 2: Pour the Soda Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice and grenadine. Pouring slowly helps maintain the fizziness and creates a nice layered effect.
Step 3: Add the Ice Cream Carefully place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the soda. The ice cream will float, creating a creamy layer that slowly melts into the drink for a delicious blend of flavors.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve Top the float with a maraschino cherry for that classic Shirley Temple touch. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy the fun and refreshing flavors!
Notes
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet float, use less grenadine or opt for a sugar-free soda.
- Serving Tip: Chill your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the float to keep it extra cold and refreshing.
- Ice Cream Tip: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest and most flavorful float.
