Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 15 ounces vanilla ice cream
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1.5 liters lemon-lime soda
- Crushed peppermint candy (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill all ingredients before starting to keep the float cold and fizzy.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda into a large punch bowl or beverage jar.
- Add the milk and peppermint extract, then stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.
- Scoop vanilla ice cream into individual serving glasses.
- Carefully pour the peppermint soda mixture over the ice cream.
- Top with crushed peppermint candy if desired and serve immediately with a straw and spoon.
Notes
- Measure the peppermint extract carefully since the flavor is strong.
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest texture.
- Serve immediately, as the float does not store well once mixed.
