This Cherry Limeade Ice Cream Float is a delicious combination of tart and sweet flavors.

The cherry syrup gives it a beautiful red color and adds a fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with the citrusy tartness of the limeade.

To make this float, start by filling a tall glass with ice. Then pour in the limeade until it is about halfway full. Next, add a few spoonfuls of cherry syrup and stir to combine. Finally, top the glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Stir the mixture until the ice cream is melted and the ingredients are fully combined.
