The floats came together in the plating rush, but they still stole a moment: Jeremiah admitted he hadn't had a float "since I was Kevin's height," which got a well-deserved laugh.
Once we got to the cheers, the reaction was instant: "Oh my God, that's very good." The vanilla ice cream really complements the cola, and we agreed regular Nuka doesn't taste as good without it. A classic for a reason, and the perfect chaser for a Brahmin meatball sub.
Miss going out to the local diner and ordering your favorite float? Don't just sit there, make your own!
Craft your own ice cream and customize your Nuka-Cola float with the syrup that best describes you. Who are you? Feeling a bit cherry? Or perhaps vanilla is more your style?
Nuka-Cola Float
Two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a frosty glass topped with your Nuka-Cola of choice. Cherry or vanilla, who are you?
Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Slowly pour in the soda, letting the foam settle as you go. Stir gently and serve with a straw and a spoon.
Use our Homemade Spiced Cola or Nuka-Cola Quantum. Homemade vanilla ice cream (see our Ice Cream Cones) or store-bought both work.
