how to make

Traditionally, a Coke float is made by scooping creamy vanilla ice cream into a tall glass and then pouring cola on top. This method prevents the ice cream from overflowing when it foams up.

Personally, I like to pour the cola first and put a scoop of ice cream on top of it. In this method, although there is a higher risk of overflow, there is more contrast between the dark soda and the ice cream and there is less foam. It is a bit prettier.

Either way, both methods are equally delicious and the prep time should take less than a minute! Have fun making a great Coca-Cola float.

Tips for making

• To make a drink for adults, pour a shot of dark rum, vanilla vodka, or bourbon over the float. Adding a shot (one ounce) of your favorite liquor will make this an alcoholic coke float.
• Some recipes recommend adding sprinkles and a maraschino cherry on top along with whipped cream.
• I like to serve my floats with a straw and spoon. Like milkshakes, both options are fun.
• Try chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a change. Even better, make each one and compare to choose your favorite.
• If you want to do things even more old-fashioned, use sparkling water and flavored syrups to make your soda.
• Use chilled soda for the perfect summer drink. You can also pour a chilled glass (just put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving).
