Description

Indulge in the delightful sweetness of a Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float, a nostalgic treat that combines fizzy soda, creamy ice cream, and a splash of grenadine. This kid-friendly drink is perfect for parties or a fun dessert indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float:

  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda, chilled
  • 1/2 cup ginger ale, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons grenadine
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • maraschino cherries and orange slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Float: In a tall glass, add the vanilla ice cream.
  2. Pour the lemon-lime soda and ginger ale over the ice cream slowly to create a fizzy float.

  3. Add Grenadine: Drizzle grenadine over the top and let it swirl through the drink.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a maraschino cherry and an orange slice. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.

Notes

  • Adjust the grenadine to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • For a party, set up a float bar with various sodas and fruit garnishes.
  • To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based vanilla ice cream.
