Instructions
Chill Glasses
Place tall glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes before assembling the float. Cold glasses keep the ice cream from melting too quickly and maintain the frosty presentation longer.
Add Ice Cream
Place 2 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass. The ice cream should fill about half the glass to leave enough room for the sparkling lemonade.
Pour and Serve
Slowly pour chilled sparkling lemonade over the ice cream scoops, allowing it to fizz and foam dramatically. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, garnish with lemon zest, and serve with a straw and long spoon immediately.
