Ingredients

1 scoop vanilla ice cream
1 cup chilled sarsaparilla soda
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass.
Slowly pour the chilled sarsaparilla soda over the ice cream, allowing the foam to settle.
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 creamier float, use a premium vanilla ice cream with a high butterfat content.
Chill the sarsaparilla soda thoroughly before using to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
To make it dairy-free, substitute with coconut milk-based vanilla ice cream.
