Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of grape soda — choose a high-quality, fizzy grape soda for maximum flavor. For more soda varieties, check out our soda recipes.
- Vanilla ice cream — a classic choice that complements the grape soda’s sweet tang. For customizable options, explore custom cake ideas.
- Fresh grapes or fruit toppings — optional, for garnish.
- Optional garnish: maraschino cherries or edible glitter to add a magical touch.
Instructions
- Start by chilling your preferred tall glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes for an extra-refreshing experience.
- Scoop 2-3 generous ladles of vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass. The creamy texture will blend beautifully with the soda.
- Slowly pour the grape soda over the ice cream, allowing it to fizz and create a delightful float. Pour gently to prevent overflow and preserve the foam.
- Add fresh grapes or fruit topping for added flavor and visual appeal. For an extra special touch, top with a maraschino cherry or a sprinkle of edible glitter.
- Use a fun straw or themed stirrer to enhance your drinking experience. Serve immediately before the ice cream melts.
Notes
- Since grape soda floats are best enjoyed fresh, they should be consumed immediately. Store the liquid in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours if leftovers are needed. Re-adding ice cream will restore the float’s creaminess, but carbonation may decrease.
