Ice Cream Floats (2 Ways!!)

Two quick and easy ice cream float recipes made with just ice cream and Italian soda, plus a few more ice cream float ideas to try.

Since variety is the spice of life, I’m sharing two ways to make these (and honestly, the possibilities are endless so feel free to get inspired and do your own).

First up? A fruity cream soda with peach sorbet and raspberry sherbet doused with a peach Italian soda! This is perfect for those that prefer sweet over salty, and would be so gorgeous served alongside a 4th of July meal!

My second version is a bit more decadent. It’s base is a salted caramel and pretzel ice cream with a vanilla bean soda and topped with toffee and dark chocolate pieces!

Ice Cream Float Ideas

I’ve included two ice cream float combinations but since variety is the spice of life here are a few more to try:

• Vanilla ice cream + Root beer
• Vanilla ice cream + Orange soda
• Berry sorbet + Sparkling water
• Chocolate ice cream + Cherry cola
• Strawberry ice cream + Cream soda
• Vanilla ice cream + Peach Italian soda
• Banana ice cream + Cream soda
• Lemon sorbet + Italian lemon soda
• Orange Sherbet + Italian blood orange soda (or try this Blood Orange Soda Recipe!)

And in case you’re thinking that your diet doesn’t include anything this delicious looking, let me just say that when it gets THIS hot? You need something this delicious to help keep your mind off it!

So go indulge! And try to keep cool!
