Shamrock Mint Float

Shamrock Mint Float

Creamy, minty, and refreshingly fizzy, this Shamrock Mint Float is the easiest festive treat for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you’re craving something fun and nostalgic.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon lime soda (Sprite or 7UP work best)
  • 1 to 2 scoops mint chocolate chip ice cream
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour the lemon lime soda into a clear glass, filling it about ¾ of the way.
  2. Gently add one to two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.
  3. Let it foam slightly and settle.
  4. Top with whipped cream if desired.
  5. Finish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon.

Optional Variations

  • Extra Creamy: Add a splash of half and half before the ice cream
  • Kids Version: Use caffeine free lemon lime soda
  • Dessert Float: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the ice cream

Serving Tip

Serve in a chilled glass to keep the float cold longer. Clear cups show off that soft shamrock green and make this perfect for photos or parties.
