Ingredients

2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
12 ounces Dr Pepper soda
2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional)
1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by chilling your serving glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes beforehand to ensure your float stays cold and refreshing.

Step 2

Remove the chilled glass and add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream directly into it.

Step 3

Slowly pour 12 ounces of Dr Pepper soda over the ice cream, tilting the glass slightly to reduce foam overflow.

Step 4

Pause halfway through pouring to allow the fizzy foam to settle. Continue pouring the soda until the glass is full.

Step 5

Optional: Top your Dr Pepper Float with a dollop of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry for extra flair.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy every fizzy, creamy scoop!
