Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cardamom cream soda (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 scoop cherry sorbet
- 1 teaspoon rose-petal sugar (optional, for rimming the glass)
- Retro striped straw
- Vintage soda or float glass for serving
Instructions
- Moisten the rim of your serving glass with water or lemon juice and dip in rose-petal sugar to coat (optional).
- Ensure cardamom cream soda is well chilled.
- Slowly pour soda into the glass at a slight angle, filling about ¾ full.

- Watch the fizz and swirling color as the float comes to life.
- Add a striped straw and serve immediately while the float is frothy and fresh.
Notes
Use high-quality cherry sorbet for bold flavor and color. Chill soda and glass beforehand for best fizz. Let sorbet soften slightly for easier scooping. Adjust cardamom level to taste if making homemade soda. Serve right after assembling for peak visual and taste appeal.
