Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fluid ounces (60 milliliters) vanilla vodka
- 3 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters) orange soda
- whipped cream (optional)
- orange slices (optional)
Instructions
- Glass Preparation: Chill a tall glass to preserve the drink’s temperature and enhance its visual allure.
- Ice Cream Layer: Strategically deposit vanilla ice cream scoops along the glass interior, creating a creamy foundation.
- Vodka Infusion: Delicately cascade vanilla vodka over the ice cream, allowing it to permeate and meld with the frozen base.

- Cream Culmination: Crown the float with a luxurious whipped cream peak, extending slightly beyond the glass rim for dramatic effect.

Notes
- Chill Glass Technique: Use a pre-chilled glass to keep the float colder longer and prevent rapid melting of ice cream.
- Vodka Layering Tip: Pour vanilla vodka gently to create smooth, even flavor distribution without disrupting ice cream’s texture.
- Soda Pouring Strategy: Pour orange soda slowly along glass wall to maintain beautiful foam layer and prevent excessive bubbling.
- Serve Immediately Trick: Consume within minutes of preparation to enjoy peak temperature, texture, and vibrant carbonation of the float.
