How To: Make Creamsicle Floats
Creamsicles + floats = the best of both worlds
The irresistible mixture of coke with ice cream makes my taste buds sing! However, I don’t drink much soda lately but I was craving that bubbly, creamy sensation. Enter LaCroix!
LaCroix has replaced 95% of the soda drinking in our house and I’m discovering all the great ways it can serve as a rightful replacement.
As with all floats, fill up your old-school fountain shop glasses with several scoops of ice cream. The more the merrier, but 3-4 will do
Fill each glass with about half a can of LaCroix, or just until the foam reaches the top. Top off each glass with orange juice, about ½ cup each if you can.
If you’d like more of a strong citrusy flavor, hold back on some of the LaCroix to allow for more orange juice.
Finish with an additional scoop of ice cream on top, some orange slices, or a little zest for a pop of color. Enjoy!

You had me at LaCroix!! I can’t wait to try these!! They look absolutely delicious and perfect for summer! Thanks so much for sharing!
These look so GOOD! And I just love how they look, you just want to put them somewhere to show them off.
What else can one use other than LaCroix? We don’t have that brand here but I would love to make these for the summer.
I haven’t tried any drinks with ice cream in it before. My friend has ice cream with fizzy drink but I never tried it. This recipe sounds like a great idea to try and perfect for the warmer months. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
