Float: Orange Creamsicle Float

Source of Recipe

From "Mad Hungry: Cravings" by Lucinda Quinn


Recipe Introduction

"Inspired by a famous soda in Philadelphia made with mandarin oranges and traditionally drunk alongside the steak bomb, Philly Cheesesteak. This is a drink, dessert, and old-fashioned popsicle all in one."

List of Ingredients

◦ 2 mandarin oranges, or one 11-ounce can mandarin oranges
◦ 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
◦ 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
◦ Club soda


Recipe

If using fresh oranges, remove the peel and pith.

Supreme the oranges into a small bowl and squeeze the juice from the membranes over them. Or pour the canned oranges and juice into a bowl. Stir in the vanilla.

Transfer the oranges and juice to a tall glass.
Add the ice cream and top off with club soda. Stir once and serve immediately, with a long spoon.
