This Cherry Limeade Ice Cream Float is a delicious combination of tart and sweet flavors. Made with limeade, cherry syrup, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this refreshing treat is perfect for a hot summer day. 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.

This Cherry Limeade Ice Cream Float is a great way to cool off in the summer heat. It's a great dessert for a girls' night in, a family gathering, or a birthday party. You can also make it in advance and store it in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy it. It's a fun and delicious way to enjoy a classic summer treat.
