Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float

Make this nostalgic Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float just because.

Here’s a twist on a root beer float that might bring back some childhood memories.

It’s a Shirley Temple ice cream float.

In this recipe, a Shirley Temple drink is poured over vanilla ice cream.

And of course, it’s served with a cherry on top.

When I was a kid, the best thing about going out to dinner was having a Shirley Temple.

And it was so great when a Shirley Temple would have two cherries instead of just one.

I saved the second cherry as a treasure, to eat at the very end.

I’m still a fan of Shirley Temples and I love how colorful they are.

This Shirley Temple float has the same delicious flavor as a Shirley Temple drink, only creamier because of the vanilla ice cream.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Lemon-lime soda, grenadine syrup, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or Cool Whip topping (optional), and maraschino cherries
