Float Me Away

As Winter draws to a close(hopefully), and Spring sprouts up, Summer is on my mind. (Notice how I managed to fit every season into that sentence except Fall? Sorry, Fall). Summer, and the promise of ice cream and soft drinks combined into a fabulously bubbly Ice Cream Float.
While, as I am sure you know, the traditional Float uses root beer, I really hate root beer. Always have, and chances are, I always will. I do, however, LOVE ICE CREAM. Such is my affection for that sweet treat, I would be 100% content to eat solely ice cream for the rest of my days. It has such variety, filled with so many possibilities!
My treat today is my take on the traditional Float. While Sprite with vanilla is my current go-to Float combination, I decided to try something new, due to the utter lack of Sprite in my house.

I used ginger ale (by the time I remembered to take a picture, I had already crushed the can!)...

 ...and vanilla ice cream!...


.....stirred them up, and VOILA!


Whoops, looks like I had a little spill there! Heh.

Anyhow, I hated it. Gross, I thought. I know this blog was originally conceived for Wheat-Free Sweet success stories, but I think that seems unrealistic. Everyone makes yucky stuff sometimes, that is just the reality of sweet-making. Especially Wheat-Free Sweets.

I really do prefer it with Sprite.
