Lemon Lime Float
A fizzy, creamy lemon lime float made with fresh lemon juice, lime soda and vanilla ice cream. A fun non-alcoholic party drink ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups lime soda chilled, or lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP
- 4 lemons juiced (about ½ cup juice)
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream about ½ cup each
- 4 key lime slices or regular lime slices
- 4 lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. Strain out any seeds. You should have about ½ cup.
- Pour the lemon juice into a pitcher or large jar. Add the chilled lime soda and stir gently to combine. Taste and add a splash more soda if it's too tart.
- Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to each of 4 glasses.
- Tilt each glass and slowly pour the lemon soda mixture over the ice cream, letting the foam rise to the top.
- Garnish each glass with a key lime slice and a lemon slice on the rim. Serve right away with a straw and a spoon.
Notes
Chill the soda and glasses ahead of time so the ice cream melts more slowly. Taste the lemon and soda mixture before pouring and add a splash more soda if it's too tart for you. Floats are best served right away. The lemon juice can be squeezed up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge, but mix it with the soda just before serving so it stays fizzy.
