Cherry Vanilla Float

When I was young I loved to order a Shirley Temple when I went out to eat.  For this recipe, I decided that a Shirley Temple could be made even better with a little ice cream. A cherry float. This is a fun combination of creamy ice cream, cherry flavoring, and lemon lime soda. If you love cherry flavored treats, this is for you.

2. Add a couple of Tablespoons of syrup into the bottom of a glass.
3. Scoop in vanilla ice cream.
4. Fill the glass with 7 -up or some lemon lime soda.

Chocolate Cherry Float

Tips For Making A Cherry Float

• Use a tall glass to make sure you have room for the soda to bubble
• Chill the glass in the freezer before filling it, this helps keep all your ingredients cold.
• Put your ice cream and cherry syrup into the glass first, then pour the soda over it.
• Slowly pour the soda in the glasses, waiting for it to settle before adding more so it doesn’t bubble over..
