Ice cream and soda floats are one of our favorite desserts to beat the heat.
Whether you want to give yours a boozy twist or just stick to the basics, ahead are 10 recipes that you’ll want to whip up before you bid adieu to good ol’ summer.
Strawberry Float
This float is almost too pretty to drink. Use strawberry ice cream if you want to stick to a pink theme, or go with vanilla if you want something more traditional.
Blueberry Cream Soda Floats
This float may not help with our clean eating regime, but it’s definitely worth a cheat meal. The added seltzer makes it super airy — perfect for a hot summer night.
Adult Root Beer Floats
Give your root beer float an alcoholic upgrade. Simply grab some vanilla ice cream, a few bottles of Not Your Father’s Root Beer, frost your mugs, and grab a few toppings to bring it all together.
