Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup orange soda
- 1 tbsp grenadine
- 1 maraschino cherry
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of orange soda, 1 tablespoon of grenadine, and 1 maraschino cherry.
- In a tall glass, add the scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will serve as the base for your float.
- Slowly pour the orange soda over the vanilla ice cream. Be careful to pour gently to create a delightful fizz and to prevent the ice cream from overflowing.
- Once the orange soda is poured, drizzle 1 tablespoon of grenadine over the top. The grenadine will sink slightly and create a beautiful layered effect, reminiscent of Pennywise's colors.
- Finally, top your float with a maraschino cherry for a pop of color and a sweet finish.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy the delicious layers of flavors in your Pennywise Ice Cream Float.
Tips
- Choose Your Glass Wisely: Opt for a tall, clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers of your float. This will enhance the visual appeal and make it more Instagram-worthy!
- Pour Carefully: When adding the orange soda, pour it slowly over the ice cream to minimize overflow and maximize that delightful fizz. A gentle pour helps maintain the layers.
- Experiment with Flavors: While orange soda is traditional, feel free to experiment with other flavors like lemon-lime or even grape soda for a unique twist on the classic float.
- Add More Toppings: Don’t stop at just a cherry! Consider adding whipped cream, sprinkles, or even gummy candies for an extra fun and festive touch.
- Serve Immediately: This float is best enjoyed fresh. The longer it sits, the more the ice cream melts and the layers blend together, so serve it right away for the best experience!
