Description

A fizzy and creamy treat, the Dirty Shirley Float combines lemon-lime soda, vanilla ice cream, and a splash of grenadine for a nostalgic twist on a classic drink-dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda per serving
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream per serving
  • 1 tablespoon grenadine per glass
  • 2 maraschino cherries per glass


Instructions

  1. Pop your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
  2. Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass.
  3. Pour 1 cup of lemon-lime soda gently into each glass over the ice cream.
  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of grenadine over each float.
  5. Garnish each with 2 maraschino cherries.
  6. Serve immediately with a long spoon and straw. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chilling the glass helps the float stay cold longer.
  • Pour soda slowly to prevent overflow.
  • You can pre-scoop the ice cream and freeze on a tray to save time.
