Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries add a burst of flavor to the cola float. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Use a good quality cola: The cola is the star of the show in a cola float, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a cola that is made with real sugar and not artificial sweeteners.
  • Don't overfill the glass: When you add the cola to the glass, don't fill it all the way to the top. Leave some room for the ice cream to float on top.
  • Add a scoop of ice cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream is the classic topping for a cola float. However, you can also use other flavors of ice cream, such as chocolate, strawberry, or coffee.
  • Garnish with a cherry: A cherry is the perfect garnish for a cola float. It adds a pop of color and flavor.
