Ingredients

12 oz Cola
2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
2 tbsp Whipped cream
1 piece Maraschino cherry

Directions

Step 1

Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting to keep your float nice and cold.

Step 2

Remove the glass from the freezer and pour about half of the cola (6 oz) into the glass to prevent overflowing later.

Step 3

Carefully add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to the glass.

Step 4

Slowly pour the remaining cola (6 oz) over the ice cream. Pouring gently will help minimize foam overflow.

Step 5

Top the drink with a dollop of whipped cream, about 2 tablespoons, for added creaminess.

Step 6

Garnish the float with a maraschino cherry on top for a classic touch.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw and a long-handled spoon for sipping and scooping.
