Grown Up Ice Cream Floats Recipe

Anyone who’s anyone who loves ice cream and soda will love this ice cream floats recipe. Ice cream, plus soda pop, plus one long spoon and an even longer straw is the national symbol for happiness in the USA.

I always thought these should be a little more adult-friendly. Some things are great in childhood for a reason, but did a touch of rum here or there ever make desserts worse? Didn’t think so. Fair warning though, these can sneak up on you, so line your stomach well beforehand.
