ice cream float

Fizzy dessert beverage

An ice cream float is a drink made by adding a scoop of ice cream to a carbonated beverage, typically root beer or cola.

The ice cream floats on top and slowly melts into the soda, creating a creamy, fizzy mixture.

Also called simply a float: Let's get root beer floats after the movie.
