Description

A nostalgic and refreshing summer treat that combines fizzy strawberry soda with creamy vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and strawberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 can or bottle (about 12 oz) strawberry soda
  • Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Place 1–2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass.
  3. Slowly pour strawberry soda over the ice cream to create a fizzy, foamy float.
  4. Optional: Add ice cubes for an extra cold float.
  5. Top with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry for garnish.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.

Notes

  • Swap vanilla ice cream with chocolate or strawberry for variety.
  • Add a splash of milk for a creamier drink.
  • Use club soda and strawberry syrup as an alternative to strawberry soda.
  • Try different fruit sodas like cherry or raspberry.
  • A scoop of sherbet can be used instead of ice cream for a tangy version.
