How to Make a Boozy Ice Cream Float
The base of this float is simple: creamy vanilla ice cream and bright orange soda. Add your choice of vodka or orange liqueur for an adults-only flair, and finish it off with a swirl of whipped cream and spooky Halloween garnishes like black sanding sugar, gummy worms, or candy eyeballs. For an even more citrus-forward flavor, add a splash of orange juice or a twist of fresh orange zest.
Assembling Your Spooky Halloween Float
Start by riming your glass with colored sugar or sprinkles for instant Halloween vibes. Layer in scoops of vanilla ice cream, pour over the vodka, then slowly add chilled orange soda. The soda will foam deliciously as it hits the ice cream, creating a fizzy, creamy delight. Top with whipped cream and your favorite Halloween candies for maximum effect.
Serving Suggestions for a Halloween Party
For an impressive presentation, serve these floats in large goblets or tall soda glasses. Offer optional syrups (grenadine for extra color, or chocolate syrup for a creamy twist) on the side. Set up a “float bar” with various toppings: gummy worms, candy corn, colored sugar, or edible glitter. Bright straws and Halloween picks add extra festivity.
