How do you make a Shark Attack Ice Cream Float?
This is simple to do. The kids can totally make their own. Though, they might need help with scooping the ice cream.
Start by filling the glass about 2/3 full with Blue Hawaiian Punch.
If you’re preparing this for a party, you can do this part ahead of time.
When you’re ready to serve the ice cream floats, fill each glass up to about 3/4 full with some lemon lime soda.
Add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. I find that two scoops is the perfect amount.
Add a swirl of spray whipped cream to the top.
Finish it off with a drizzle of Strawberry Syrup and a jumbo gummy shark.
How can I turn this Shark Attack into an alcoholic ice cream float?
If you want to change it up to an adult drink, you can make your favorite blue curacao cocktail or add some vodka to the Hawaiian punch.
