Ingredients

Scale

Float Ingredients

  • 2 – 3 scoops vanilla or caramel ice cream
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup ginger ale
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (storebought or homemade)


Instructions

  1. Scoop Ice Cream: Place 2 to 3 generous scoops of vanilla or caramel ice cream into each serving glass.
  2. Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream to add rich sweetness.
  3. Pour Apple Cider: Fill the glass halfway with chilled apple cider to provide a crisp apple flavor.
  4. Top with Ginger Ale: Fill the remainder of the glass with ginger ale to add a bubbly, spicy lift.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top if desired and serve immediately for the best fizz and creaminess.

Notes

  • Adjust the apple cider to ginger ale ratio based on your preference for fizz; for less fizz, fill 3/4 glass with apple cider and top with ginger ale.
  • Omit ginger ale for a pure apple cider float that is still deliciously sweet and creamy.
  • Use either vanilla or caramel ice cream depending on your flavor preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute ice cream with a suitable vegan alternative.
