Float Friday #10 Birthday Cake


Yah thats right I turned this:



Into this:


It tasted very good but not a favorite. When I made this we ( my family ) had just came home from yoga ( which by the way is exhausting ) and I wanted a float so I made it and drank it in less than a minute. So that should be proof enough that it is good ( but after the lemon ginger float it tasted mediocre ).


The ingredients:
Whipped cream
Sprinkles
A glass
A straw


Start by pouring a small amount of soda into your glass.


Scoop the ice cream over the soda.


Add the last of the soda over the ice cream. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Float Friday #9 Orange and Lemon


Almost all citrus works together well. But orange, lemon, and lime are the best together. So to finally finish that lemon sorbet I bought. It took me three posts to use one normal sized carton of lemon sorbet. Not that i'm complaining any excuse to make a float is a good one.


The Ingredients:
One bottle of orange soda ( the one I used was a bit gross)
A glass
A straw


Add a small amount of soda to your glass.


Scoop your sorbet over the soda.


Pour the soda over the top and pop a straw in it!

Float Friday #8 Lemonade Lemon

Jones berry lemonade soda is my favorite! And My favorite sorbet is lemon. So:
Jones berry lemonade soda + Lemon Sorbet = one of the best floats I have made. But a twist is that I used a frozen blue raspberry flavored RedVines or Twizzlers as a straw. How I did the straw was I took the RedVine/Twizzlers and put a skewer through the middle and then froze it for about an hour.


The Ingredients:

One frozen blue or yellow RedVine/Twizzlers.
One frosted glass ( the frosted part is optional)


Pour a small amount of soda into your frosted glass.


Scoop your sorbet over the soda.


Top with the rest of soda and add your frozen candy straw and enjoy!
PS: This one is VERY sour so be carful.

Float Friday #7 Ginger Lemon


This is start to of three posts that use lemon sorbet. I was shocked about how much sorbet is in there. One normal sized ( not the big containers) of lemon sorbet made three floats! One funny thing I noticed about Häagen Daz is that the flavors that they know there customers are going to eat a lot of they don't ever bother to make a mini carton I am sure they think "They are going to eat the whole carton any way don't even bother making a small size". Any way back to the float, I made this one out of ginger beer and lemon sorbet after I tried Haribos Lemon Ginger Candy ( which are amazing ).


The Ingredients:

One bottle of ginger beer ( make sure there is real ginger in it)
1/3 of a carton of Häagen Daz Zesty Lemon Sorbet.
a frosted glass
a straw.


Start by adding a small amount of soda to your gall.


Add scoops of sorbet on top of the soda.


Finish by pouring over more soda and adding a straw. And by the way if you want a perfect slushy stir the sorbet into the soda. I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!

Float Friday #6 Strawberry Lime



Welcome back to another float friday! Today I have a strawberry and lime float, which,
well not my favorite was still good. I used the same soda as in the coconut lime float because the strawberry ice cream was so creamy and I thought the key lime soda would go well with it. I personally do not like strawberry ice cream at all but some how the very creamy soda and ice cream made the float taste more like a strawberry milkshake. But all in all It was a ( surprisingly ) good float.


The Ingredients:

One single serving carton of Haagen Daz Strawberry Ice Cream
A bottle of key lime soda
one frosted cup ( frosted part is optional )
a straw.



Start by pouring a small amount of soda into your glass.


Scoop your ice cream over your soda. By the way make sure to scoop your ice cream out and not just dumping a carton shaped brick of ice cream into your float.


Top with more soda and enjoy! Also I would like to tell you that if you stir your ice cream into the soda I tastes just like a strawberry milk shake.

Float Friday #5 Coconut & Lime



Key lime soda is one of my favorites and ( even though I have only tried it once ) coconut is also one of my favorites. So I mixed them together and I had a float. The only small problem was that the coconut ice cream had chunks ( of coconut ) in it so the float was a bit chunky so if texture is not your thing then this recipe is not for you.

The ingredients:

One bottle of key lime soda
One single serving carton of Haagen Daz Coconut Macaroon Gelato
A glass ( I forgot to frost mine)
A straw.


Pour a small amount of soda into your glass.



Scoop all of your gelato over the soda.




Top with remaining soda, add your straw and enjoy!
