Red Cream Soda Floats

07/29/2013 6 Comments

Red Cream Soda Floats

When I was a kid I remember my mom making Red Cream Soda Floats, it was a rare treat and so good!  I know she use to buy Big Red Cream Soda, but when I came across this Dad’s Red Cream Soda it totally reminded me of that childhood treat.  

I wanted to share it with my boys, so I grabbed a few bottles of the bright red carbonated drink and took them home. Just like any other float these are simple to make and a sweet treat that will please anyone!

Ingredients:

–  Red Cream Soda
–  Vanilla Ice Cream
–  Fancy Straw

 
I like to use a tall glass for these floats, that way you can fit a ton of ice cream and soda, plus it looks pretty.  

I scoop about 5 scoops of ice cream in to my glass (leaving about an inch and a half of room at the top of the glass).  

Pour in your red cream soda, let it rest for a couple seconds so you can pour some more soda in.  

Then top with one more giant scoop of ice cream on top!  

Add a cute striped straw and your good to go!  Sip away & enjoy!

    Were from Texas and grew up on Big Red Floats. There is nothing better!!! Now I feel like I really need one. I actually have letters from the Big Red company. I wrote to them when I was little asking them to sell it here. They wrote back and said they didn’t have any local distributors.. I wrote again and 5mths later my brother calls us from the store (Pay Phone LOL!! ) and said they had Big Red!!! DARN to bad I didn’t have a blog back then.. 🙂

    Rebecca, this is totally taking me back! We did’t have red cream soda where I lived growing up so my dad would bring us each a case of Barq’s Red Creme Soda from his business trips out east. We would hoard those like nobody’s business. I loved savoring a precious can in a float. Nothing beats that!
