Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup orange soda, chilled Choose a bright orange soda; caffeine-free works too
  • 2 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream This adds the signature dirty (creamy) swirl
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup Or use 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream For topping
  • 2 slice orange slice For garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill two tall glasses and the orange soda for at least 30 minutes so the float stays frosty.
  • In a small cup, stir together the heavy cream and vanilla syrup until well combined.
  • Add 1 cup vanilla ice cream to each glass.
  • Slowly pour 1 cup chilled orange soda into each glass, letting the foam settle as you pour.
  • Drizzle half of the vanilla cream mixture over each float and gently stir once to marble the cream through the soda.
  • Top with whipped cream and garnish with an orange slice. Serve immediately with a straw and long spoon.

Notes

For a lighter version, use diet orange soda and half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Dairy-free? Swap in coconut milk ice cream and a splash of canned coconut cream. To boost orange flavor, add a few drops of orange extract to the cream mixture.
