Ingredients
- 2 scoops (about 1/2 cup) vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) chilled cola (e.g., Coca-Cola or Pepsi)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the vanilla ice cream scoops into a tall glass (preferably a soda fountain glass or a 12-oz glass).
- Slowly pour the chilled cola over the ice cream to avoid excessive fizzing. Let it settle for a few seconds.
- If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
Tips
- For a richer float, use a premium vanilla ice cream with a high butterfat content.
- Chill the cola thoroughly to minimize foam when pouring.
- Try different cola flavors like cherry or vanilla for a twist.
