A Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float is a fun and refreshing twist on the classic Shirley Temple mocktail, combining the bubbly sweetness of ginger ale with creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for a sweet treat or special occasion!
Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float
Ingredients:
- 1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or your favorite ice cream flavor)
- 1 cup ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda for a variation)
- 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup
- Maraschino cherry, for garnish
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the glass:
- Choose a tall glass (like a float glass or a large soda glass). Add the vanilla ice cream scoops to the bottom of the glass.
- Pour the soda:
- Slowly pour the ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda) over the ice cream. Pour gently to avoid too much fizz and foam.
- Add grenadine:
- Drizzle the grenadine syrup into the glass. It will create a pretty swirl effect and add sweetness.
- Garnish and serve:
- Top with a maraschino cherry (and whipped cream if desired) for the finishing touch.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon to enjoy both the soda and the ice cream!
This float is a delightful treat that’s perfect for parties, hot summer days, or any time you want something sweet and bubbly. Enjoy!
