10 Ice Cream Float Ideas

Of course we have to kick it off with the famous combination of root beer soda and vanilla ice cream. Try mixing up this classic with chocolate ice cream instead of a vanilla, a little bit of a different flavor but just as delicious!

Another quintessential combination, the orange sherbet and cream soda marry to create a tangy but savory taste. This can also be done with vanilla ice cream and orange soda.

This more exotic ice cream float is a combination of lemon sorbet and ginger ale. This low calorie drink is an ideal healthier dessert option and tastes just as good!

Depending on the depths of your freezer you can intensify the lemon lime taste with both flavors of sorbet. Mixed with a soda like Sprite or a lemon lime seltzer, its a great concoction for those who want to stray from the cola combos.

By adding Black Cherry ice cream to plain cola, it helps balance the flavor of this float rather than using cherry flavored cola. However an acceptable substitution would be cherry cola and vanilla ice cream.

Typically made with cookies & cream, be sure to add extra cookie crumbles to this float. Another delicious combo is substituting the cream soda for iced coffee.

Another healthier alternative to the cola, ginger ale mixed with a raspberry sorbet. Add a hint of mint leaves to add to the flavor of this float.

For all the Harry Potter fans, this float is an attempt at creating a summertime Butter Beer. Its a mix of Butterscotch flavored ice cream with cream soda, for a more authentic taste substitute cream soda for your favorite ale.

This fruity concoction involves strawberry ice cream mixed with a limonata soda or some sort of lime tasting bubbly. Lemon-lime sodas are another option for this piquant float.

The Pepsi vs Coke debacle is left up to the creator, but tasteful with any kind of cola, vanilla adds the perfect amount of creaminess.
