Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float Recipe


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7-Up)
  • 1 oz grenadine syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Add Grenadine and Ice In a tall glass, add the grenadine syrup, followed by a handful of ice cubes. The grenadine adds the signature sweet cherry flavor and beautiful pink color.

Step 2: Pour the Soda Slowly pour the lemon-lime soda over the ice and grenadine. Pouring slowly helps maintain the fizziness and creates a nice layered effect.

Step 3: Add the Ice Cream Carefully place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the soda. The ice cream will float, creating a creamy layer that slowly melts into the drink for a delicious blend of flavors.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Top the float with a maraschino cherry for that classic Shirley Temple touch. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy the fun and refreshing flavors!

Notes

  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet float, use less grenadine or opt for a sugar-free soda.
  • Serving Tip: Chill your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the float to keep it extra cold and refreshing.
  • Ice Cream Tip: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest and most flavorful float.
