Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons grenadine per glass
- 2–3 scoops vanilla ice cream per glass
- 1 cup ginger ale per glass
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
- Optional: orange slices for garnish or a splash of orange juice
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glasses: Start by pouring about 2 tablespoons of grenadine into the bottom of each glass.
- Add the Ice Cream: Scoop 2-3 generous balls of vanilla ice cream into each glass.
- Pour the Ginger Ale: Slowly pour ginger ale over the ice cream, about 1 cup per glass, to avoid too much foam.
- Top It Off: Garnish each float with a maraschino cherry and a fun straw. Optionally, add a slice of orange to the rim.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the floats while they’re still bubbly and creamy.
Notes
Chill your soda before use to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly. Pour the soda slowly to avoid excessive foam. Experiment with different sodas, syrups, or flavored ice creams for unique variations.
