HOW TO SERVE Orange Dragon Fruit Sprite Soda Float

To serve your Orange Dragon Fruit Sprite Soda Float, present it in a clear glass to show off the vibrant colors. You can provide a straw for easy sipping and a spoon to enjoy the ice cream. This drink is best enjoyed immediately so that the ice cream stays creamy and the Sprite remains fizzy. It makes a wonderful addition to any summer gathering or as a refreshing drink on a hot day.

STORAGE & FREEZING : Orange Dragon Fruit Sprite Soda Float

This float is best enjoyed fresh, as the Sprite loses its fizz and the ice cream melts. However, if you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for a short time. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may not be the same the next day. Freezing the float is not recommended, as it can change the consistency of the ice cream and the drink. For the best taste, make this float just before you’re ready to enjoy it!

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

The Orange Dragon Fruit Sprite Soda Float makes a wonderful dessert drink on its own, but you can also serve it alongside other summer treats. Pair it with fruit skewers, cookies, or light cakes for a delightful spread. This float is great for outdoor parties, picnics, or barbecues. You can also create a fun drink station where guests can make their own floats with different fruits and toppings.
