Strawberry Ice-Cream Float...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Beverages N Drinks(non alcoholic), Summer Drinks.

There has been a rise in temperatures over here from past couple of days...summer has almost begun so soon...:-(...so i thought of making this very popular mocktail - ice-cream float with stawberries...it is very quick to make if you have all the stuff required at home and i am sure any one will enjoy having this chilling drink.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

1 cup strawberry crush

4 scoops of vanilla ice-cream

300ml soda (carbonated water)

2 glasses

METHOD:

Take one glass preferably of the same shape i have used and add 2 table spoons of strawberry crush and above it add half amount of chopped fresh strawberries.

Then place two scoops of vanilla ice cream above it.Immediately pour 150 ml of soda over it.Take a spoon and pour little drops of strawberry crush on the foamy head of the drink using the bulging side of the spoon.By pouring it like this the crush wont go below but will float on top.

NOTE: You can use even strawberry ice cream in this instead of vanilla, but i like vanilla ice-cream so i have used it.

You can even use kiwi crush and kiwi pieces instead of strawberry.
