10 Tasty Ice Cream Float Combinations

Nothing says summer like ice cream. Okay, ice cream is a year-round treat but it’s more acceptable to eat it a LOT in the summertime.

I recently decided to get creative and to put a spin on the traditional Root Beer Float. My basic formula for creating a yummy ice cream float is the ice cream (sherbet or sorbet is great, too), soda or juice, and some sort of topping just for that extra yum.

Add in a little creativity, and here are the ones you’ll find me making this summer!

And the thing I love about these tasty treats is that the kids LOVE them and they couldn’t be easier to make. I can have 3 different flavors on the table in under 10 minutes! And they’re gone just as fast. Slurrrrp!

What are YOUR favorite ice cream float combinations? There are so many different ways to make a refreshing treat and I always love hearing how different families enjoy their desserts!

We tend to be divided as a family when it comes to our ice cream float combinations. My hubby and son love the chocolate and vanilla flavors and my daughter and I go more for the fruity ones.
