Step-by-Step: How to Make a Rainbow Sherbet Float
1. Choose Your Glass
Tall clear glasses work best—you’ll want to see all those gorgeous rainbow swirls.
2. Add the Sherbet
Scoop 3–4 generous scoops of rainbow sherbet into the glass. The more scoops, the more vibrant your float.
3. Pour the Soda Slowly
Carefully pour lemon-lime soda over the sherbet. Go slow to avoid too much fizz spilling over. Watch the colors start to blend and bubble—it’s magical!
4. Top It Off
Add a swirl of whipped cream, a cherry on top, and maybe a few rainbow sprinkles. You’ve just made happiness in a glass.
Make It Your Own
Not a fan of lemon-lime soda? No problem. Here are a few fun variations:
• Try orange soda for a creamsicle vibe
• Use fruit punch soda for extra tropical flavor
• Add a splash of pineapple juice for a tangy twist
• Want an adult version? Add a dash of flavored vodka or prosecco
Pro Tips for the Best Float
• Freeze your glass for 10 minutes before assembling—helps keep it cold longer
• Serve immediately for the best fizz-to-sherbet balance
• Use a straw AND spoon – trust us, you’ll want both
