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.
