ORANGE FIZZ FLOATS

1 c. orange juice
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 c. lemon lime soda
1 orange slice

Fill each glass with 1/4 cup orange juice. Add one scoop vanilla ice cream. Add 1/2 cup lemon lime soda. Stir with small spoon to mix soda and orange juice. Garnish with quartered orange slice and serve. Serves 4.

MOCHA FLOAT

1 qt. chocolate ice cream
6 c. strong coffee
1/2 c. cream, whipped
Cinnamon

Place a scoop of ice cream in a tall glass. Fill with coffee, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serves 6.

MOXIE FLOAT

2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup crushed ice
2 to 3 drops vanilla flavoring (not artificial)
1 12 ounce can Moxie

Place one scoop of ice cream and other ingredients into a blender and process on high until smooth.

Pour into a chilled fountain soda glass and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Serve with a straw and a spoon.

Note: you can substitute root beer or Coca-Cola for the Moxie but it won’t be a Moxie float!

TROPICAL ICE CREAM FLOAT

1 scoop vanilla ice cream
4 tbsp. frozen Passion Fruit concentrate
7-Up

Place the ice cream in a tall glass. Add the Passion Fruit. Slowly add the 7-Up, stir briefly and serve with a straw, adding more 7-Up as desired. Frozen Guava Nectar is equally delicious.

Mini Orange Dreamsicle Float

2 oz Orange Granita (see recipe)
4 oz Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
2 oz Orange Soda (Stewards is the best)

Then repeat granita mixture and top with a perfect round scoop of ice cream and finish by pouring orange soda over the top to create the float effect.
