Beautiful strawberries are finally in season, and this strawberry ice cream float is one of the best and easiest ways to use them. This is my favorite spring and summer drink because it is simple to make and bursts with fresh fruit flavor.
First, it has mascerated strawberries in it, which is incredible in and of itself. I also used quality vanilla ice cream and strawberry soda to top it off with. So simple yet so delicious and perfect for you to enjoy during the warm season.
