Nice summer drink. Or good for any season. I made mine with regular orange juice. Made for Aussie Recipe Swap game June 2013. -
Fun and yum. In Australia the mixed of a fizz drink and vanilla ice cream are called spider. I think this would be a stronger flavour we reduced the orange and the sugar together in a small saucepan to make a syrup. I used raw sugar because it's the only sugar we have at home at the moment. Hubby said that the club soda was the prominent flavour of the drink. Little Miss really enjoyed it because it was her first time tasting it and I thought it was very refreshing. Thanks Baby Kato for your wonderful recipe. -
So easy, good and versatile what with the Meyer lemon or Ruby red grapefruit options. This brought back fond childhood memories, mom made floats using orange soda pop and ice cream. I had not thought about orange floats in years. Thanks for a wonderful drink and great memories. -
Yum, I just had one of these and it's so good! I've been fighting off the flu and felt like something nice tasting and this was perfect. I used a blood orange soda drink that we can buy here in Oz and didn't worry about the orange juice or sugar. Really good, thank you! -
Yummy!!! What a nice change from a rootbeer float, so refreshing on a hot summer day. I used diet ginger ale and omitted the sugar. Made for bevy tag. Thanks for a fun new float recipe!!!!
