Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup orange soda chilled; about 2 cans
  • 0.5 cup half-and-half or vanilla coffee creamer
  • 2 tbsp coconut syrup Torani or similar
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 4 scoop vanilla ice cream about 2 scoops per glass
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream for topping
  • 0.5 tsp orange zest optional, for garnish
  • 2 slice fresh orange for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill 2 tall glasses in the freezer for a few minutes so the float stays frosty.
  • In a small pitcher, whisk together the half-and-half, coconut syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add ice to the chilled glasses, then divide the orange soda between them.
  • Slowly pour the cream mixture over the soda in each glass to create a creamy swirl.
  • Gently add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to each glass.
  • Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with orange zest, and garnish with an orange slice. Serve immediately with straws and spoons.

Notes

Make it dairy-free: Use coconut creamer and non-dairy vanilla ice cream. Boozy twist: Add 1.5 fl oz vanilla vodka or coconut rum per glass. For extra fizz, pour the cream slowly down the side of the glass to avoid overflow.
