Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (355 milliliters) orange soda
- 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) vanilla vodka
Garnish:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Orange slices (optional)
Instructions
- Select a tall, chilled glass to maximize the visual appeal and maintain the drink’s temperature.
- Scoop three rounded scoops of premium vanilla ice cream (approximately or 12 fluid ounces) directly into the glass, ensuring even distribution along the sides.
- Drizzle 1.5 fluid ounces (45 milliliters) of smooth vanilla vodka evenly over the ice cream, allowing it to gently seep between the scoops.
- Slowly pour 8 fluid ounces (240 milliliters) of chilled orange soda along the interior glass wall, creating a natural, cascading foam effect without disturbing the ice cream’s structure.
- Crown the float with a generous dollop of fluffy whipped cream, creating a pillowy summit approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) above the glass rim.
- Artfully garnish the whipped cream with two to three thin, half-moon shaped fresh orange slices, positioning them at a slight angle for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately to preserve the drink’s effervescence and prevent melting, using a long spoon and straw for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Chill your glass beforehand to keep the float colder and enhance the drink’s overall texture.
- Select high-quality vanilla vodka for a smoother, more refined flavor profile.
- Use fresh orange slices that are ripe and vibrant to maximize the citrusy aroma.
- Opt for craft or premium orange soda brands with authentic orange taste for better results.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the optimal balance of creamy and fizzy elements.
