I’ve been making these with the kiddos for the past few years and they’re always a BIG hit. You can easily change them up using different flavors of ice cream or sherbet, and by changing the type of soda you pour on….the options are seriously ENDLESS!

Here is what you’ll need to make our FAVORITE version:

LOVE POTION FLOATS

Ingredients and Supplies:
Raspberry Sherbet
Raspberry Ginger Ale
Whipped Cream Topping
Sprinkles
Serving Glasses
Ice Cream Scoop
Straws
Stickers or other embellishments

soda float for valentine's day

Directions:

First, add enough scoops of Raspberry Sherbet to fill each of your serving glasses almost to the top.

Next, pour the Raspberry Ginger Ale over the Sherbet until the bubbles reach the top of the glass. Be careful not to overfill the cup or they’ll bubble right over!

Put a big SWIRL of whipped topping on the Ginger Ale-Sherbet mixture and add FESTIVE sprinkles to the top.

Finally, I like to add stickers or other fun printable embellisments to the paper straws before serving…to give them that EXTRA cute factor!

These are absolutely PERFECT for Valentine’s Day treats…and SO yummy, you’ll be making them ALL the time!
