19. Kombucha Mimosa Floats

Add a few scoops into a glass, however many will fit, and pour over some kombucha. Voila, kombucha floats!! I called this recipe “kombucha mimosa floats” because I used orange sorbetto, but virtually any type of fruity frozen thing will work. Heck, you could even use a popsicle and it would work! The key here is keeping fruits with fruits – I’ve really never heard of a fruit combination that’s bad. Just pick a fruity kombucha that you like, and a fruity frozen thing that you like, and you’ll probably like the combination of the two.

22. Dirty Root Beer Float

Now, I’m not much of a beer drinker, and one that supposedly tastes like root beer sounded like was a guaranteed strong flavored dark beer- DEFINITELY not my scene. When Dave cracked one later that night, tasted it, was completely expressionless, and then told me to taste it. Although hesitant, ESPECIALLY since he wouldn’t give me any clues to the taste, I did.

25. Moscow Mule Float

Who doesn’t love a boozy float? It’s the nostalgia of slurping down soda floats, but with the perks of being an adult!

Root beer floats are a family tradition for me. It’s my dad’s must-have dessert on his birthday. There’s something about the icy crust that forms around the ice cream in the soda. The cream with the herbaceous kick of the root beer is such a delicious combination, how could it possibly get better?
