Coke Float Jollibee
I remember the first time I made this Jollibee-style Coke float. The refreshing fizz of ice-cold cola paired with rich, creamy vanilla ice cream was enough to transport me to tropical bliss.
Ingredients
- 200 ml Coca-Cola regular, diet, or zero, depending on your preference
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup or more for extra sweetness
- A handful of ice cubes
Instructions
- Start with a tall, clear glass so you can watch the magic unfold. Add ice cubes to the bottom. I like to use just a handful of ice for an added chill, but not too much to dilute the drink later. The ice sets the foundation for a refreshing experience.
- Slowly pour Coca-Cola over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters full. The fizz is my favorite part here! Be gentle to maintain that bubbly goodness without causing the cola to foam over excessively. This step is simple but oh-so-satisfying.
- Now comes the creamy indulgence. Carefully place two scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the Cola. Watch as the ice cream begins to melt slightly into the soda, creating that signature frothy layer. For me, this texture is what makes a Coke float so irresistible.
- For an extra flair and sweetness, drizzle a generous tablespoon of chocolate syrup over the vanilla ice cream. You can add a little more if, like me, you love a chocolatey punch. The syrup not only adds flavor but also gives the float a visually appealing finish.
- Finish it off with a straw or a long spoon and your drink is ready! Serve immediately to maintain its perfectly chilled and frothy consistency. Make sure to give it a quick swirl before taking a sip to enjoy all the flavors in harmony.
Notes
- Keep Everything Chilled: I’ve noticed you get the best results when your cola and ice cream are both super cold. It helps maintain the frothy texture longer.
- Experiment with Sodas: While Coke is the classic choice, I’ve tried this with root beer and even orange soda for a fun twist. Each flavor brings its own unique burst of taste.
- Go Crazy With Toppings: Adding sprinkles, crushed nuts, or even a maraschino cherry on top can take your float to the next level.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you want it less sweet, opt for Coke Zero or Diet Coke. On the other hand, extra chocolate syrup can make it decadently rich.
- Serve Quickly: The beauty of this drink is in its freshness. Make sure to serve it right after assembling so the ice cream doesn’t fully dissolve into the soda.
