Float Ingredients
- 2 – 3 scoops vanilla or caramel ice cream
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup ginger ale
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (storebought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Scoop 2 to 3 generous scoops of vanilla or caramel ice cream into each glass you plan to serve the float in. Drizzle some caramel sauce over the ice cream for added sweetness and flavor.
- Add Apple Cider: Pour apple cider into the glass until it is about halfway full, creating the base liquid for the float.
- Add Ginger Ale: Fill the rest of the glass with ginger ale, adding a fizzy and refreshing contrast to the apple cider and ice cream.
- Finish with Caramel: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top of the float if desired, enhancing the caramel flavor and presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the float right away to enjoy the perfect combination of creamy ice cream, fizzy ginger ale, and sweet apple cider.
Notes
- Adjust the ratio of apple cider to ginger ale according to your preferred level of fizziness. For a milder fizz, fill the glass 3/4 full with apple cider and top off with ginger ale.
- Omit the ginger ale completely for a pure apple cider float experience.
- Use homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor or storebought for convenience.
- Serve immediately to prevent the ice cream from melting too much and losing the float effect.
