Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and what better way to get into the spirit of the holiday by creating an ice cream float with sparkling water. I came up with this recipe because my kids don’t drink pop (or soda as some of you call it) very often but they love sparkling seltzer water. I decided to create a fun Valentine treat for them.

I chose to use Sparkling Ice Black Cherry because of the color but there are so many other flavors or brands out there that you could try. I chose to use vanilla ice cream as we usually have that on hand at all times.

Due to our glass size I filled each glass about half way with Sparkling Ice which used only one bottle of the water. The comes the ice cream! I dropped in two small scoops as I had used cookie scoop for the ice cream since the glass was so small and narrow.

The next step is to slowly mix up your drink so the flavors combine. Just a note that if you try and mix it up really fast, the carbonation and the ice cream will cause it to foam and possibly overflow. So be aware of this and just slowly stir.

Now all that is left was to top it with a little bit of whipped cream and some fun sprinkles.

My kids devoured it right away. It was very good, and the water and ice cream make some super fun colors. This is a fun take on an ice cream float and I am looking forward to doing this on other occasions. I enjoyed using the Sparkling Ice as the sugar content is lower than soda but it still has the flavor and bubbliness. So it’s just a fun, treat for either after school, a special occasion, or a specific holiday. Enjoy.
