Ingredients

1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 ounce grenadine
8 ounces lemon-lime soda
Maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)
Cool Whip or whipped topping, for garnish (optional)
Lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Place the vanilla ice cream in the bottom of a tall serving glass.

Slowly and gently pour the lemon-lime soda over the top.
If desired, garnish with a dollop of Cool Whip, a maraschino cherry, and a lime wedge.
Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

Pour the soda slowly to minimize overflow from the foam.
Use chilled soda for the best float texture.
For extra flavor, add an additional splash of grenadine.
Garnish just before serving for the freshest presentation.
