Classic Coke Float
The Classic Coke Float is a simple dessert combining scoops of vanilla ice cream with Coca-Cola poured slowly over the top, creating a creamy, fizzy treat. Finished with whipped cream and a cherry garnish, the float offers a balance of cold sweetness and carbonation. Chilling the glass and soda prior to assembly slows melting and ensures a refreshing experience.

Notes
