How to Store Blue Raspberry Ice Cream Floats

It’s best to enjoy Blue Raspberry Ice Cream Floats right after you make them.

• Use chilled soda or sports drink for extra froth and refreshment.
• Experiment with other ice cream flavors like strawberry or mint for fun twists.
• If you want it sweeter, add more vanilla ice cream or use a sweeter soda.

Variation

For a less sugary option, substitute the blue raspberry soda with sparkling water and add a bit of sugar or fruit puree. You can also create a layered float by slowly pouring each soda to form distinct layers.
