Classic Coke Float – Lana’s Cooking

Learn how to make a Classic Coke Float with vanilla ice cream, Coca-Cola, and loads of fun. Serve these easy-to-make drinks with a straw and a long-handled spoon.

Once, when our grandchildren were visiting us, I discovered that they had never had Coke in the little glass bottles like we used to have as a child. What?! I knew I had to fix that right away, so I went straight to the store and picked up a six-pack.

Of course, those little bottles were mostly a novelty, but the kids enjoyed them anyway. And at the end of the week, there was just one little bottle left. Hard to split that between two, so I came up with another childhood favorite for them to try – Coke floats! According to them, they’d never enjoyed this particular treat, but were willing to give it a go since it involved ice cream.

A Classic Coke Float is much the same as a root beer float, if you’ve had one of those…just with Coca-Cola. It’s an oldie but a real classic; ice cream with soda poured over it and your choice of toppings. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as my grandkids (and I) do!
