Rootbeer is the go to soda to make a float with, but what are some other soda and ice cream combinations that work? I've had some success with grape and big red with vanilla. Gimme some ideas /ck/.

Provocative!
Do any fast food locations sell floats besides A&W? There are none around me.
>>7676477
Culvers does.
Big red or another cream soda.
>>7676485
Culvers is the bomb. They are the hoop-diggity. They are down with the sickness.

Mum told me about how she had ice cream and ginger beer in Spain when she was but a lass.
i feel like the root beer float is kind over kill
like a good root beer on its own can be enjoyed as a desert just wiht how creamy it is
i havent had a float in years though, maybe i should try
in Michigan they do Vernor's and vanilla ice cream. it's not very good at all.
>>7676524
I live in the metro Detroit area. Vernor's around here replaces penicillin and most other medication. Have an upset stomach? Drink Vernors. Flu? Vernors. Got your leg chopped off on Zug Island? Have a Vernors.

where you at? I was in Ann Arbor for school and a little while after graduating.

my grandma used to always give us 7up when our tummys were upset.

Lemonade with vanilla.
Used to drink it a lot in the summer as a lad.
"Butterbeer" float - cream soda with a shot of butterscotch schnapps and vanilla ice cream
>>7676562
Wyandotte near Emmons and Biddle.
Sprite.
>>7676424
My favorite floats are rootbeer, 7up, and orange crush, but honestly pretty much anything works.
>>7676451
This is my friends, orange crush and vanilla is just as good as rootbeer
>>7676576
Welcome to the Americas, we are divided in to three, North, central, and south
If you can find the really spicy ginger ale called Blenheim's, it's good with vanilla ice cream. Dad called it a London Fog.
>>7676477
Cook out, they do a Cheerwine float, shit's good
>>7676647
you live is south america don't you

Vanilla Bean ice cream with Orange Crush
Fudge Ripple ice cream with Dr Pepper
Orange Pineapple Ice Cream in Mountain dew
>>7676647
When I first read your post, I wondered why you left out the east and west coast. Then it hit me - you're talking about non-American places.
>>7676682
Sun Drop and lime sherbert
Trust me in this
>>7677695
>sherbert
Mah nigga
Dr. Pepper with a rainbow sherbert up top is the fucking shit.
For legit ice cream, float some Cherry Garcia on a Pepsi, because Coke is sweet enough as is.
If you're feeling brave, drop some pineapple sherbert in piña colada Four Loko or a cocktail of 1 part Malibu Pineapple and 2 parts Coconut Wave from Walmart.
>>7676424
The only soda float that I've ever found to actually taste good is vanilla ice cream and melon fanta.
>>7676747
I'm from a super shity country in North America, and I'm not talking about Canada
>>7676424
A blend of alcoholic root beer (Not Your Dad's) and A&W with vanilla ice cream, wasn't bad, wasn't great.

What is root beer made of?
I assume it's either the root of some sort of plant, or a plant made out of root.
How do you think people discovered these sorts of things?
>>7677949
Root beer is a brown sweet beverage traditionally made using the root beer tree Sassafras albidum (sassafras) or the vine Smilax ornata (sarsaparilla) as the primary flavor. Root beer may be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and may be carbonated or non-carbonated. Most root beer has a thick foamy head when poured. Modern, commercially produced root beer is generally sweet, foamy, carbonated, and non-alcoholic, and is flavoured using sassafras. It may or may not contain caffeine.

Based carolina cookout bro, only thing i miss more than 3am cookout is based vinegar bbq
>no moxie floats

>>7676447
what the fuck is rock & rye?
Vanilla and Orange Crush
Vanilla and Sprite
>>7679074
a delicious combination of pop rocks and rye whiskey.
Pineapple Fanta with codeine syrup
>>7679074
Red cream soda.
Go for a Boston Cooler OP (made with Vernors).
>>7676524
>Not very good
Eat a bag of jungly dicks.
Vernors and vanilla ice cream is a Boston Cooler invented in Detroit.
Big Red floats are fucking amazing.
>>7676576
but it was founded in California, you hoser.
>>7677872
How bad is Haiti?
Kroger has a bunch of awesome flavors of cheap soda that make amazing fucking floats.
The peach and pineapple are both particularly good.
>>7676424
i love root beer floats but a big red float is a classic soda also nugrape or orange crush makes a good float
Y'all need to step it the fuck up.
>>7676424
the master race special; cream soda, vanilla iced cream topped with white chocolate fudge and blueberries
I'd like to try a pineapple crush float. I think it would work well. But I can't find it around here.
orange cream soda makes a good float actually any cream soda makes a good float
>>7676565
I came from a 7-Up family but my wife is a Vernors when sick person.
If you don't mind the instant diabetes you can try this.
>>7682781
Coke floats are god-tier anon
>>7682876
>tfw getting cheerwine float from Cook-Out
Cook-Out is the only reason I'd ever go back to NC
>>7676453
I'll see your Guinness and raise you a Young's Double Chocolate Stout in the can with the nitrogen widget.
>>7682781
cheerwine floats are a regional thing (maybe just north carolina?) they specifically have them at a fastfood chain here so i'm pretty sure its not just talk but somebody actually drinks them
>>7682903
>Young's Double Chocolate float
Genius
>>7684702
I do and I'm from Maryland. It's not that difficult to find. I just saw a bottle of it today at Mission BBQ in Glen Burnie.
Try Fresca or Squirt
>>7681851
Why have I never heard of Cactus Cooler before? That shit looks amazing. Is it regional?
try root beer and parrot bay with rum raisin ice cream.
the only fault is the raisins, but you can just sift those out as you drink.
>>7685084
southwest only.
I visited Maine and was sad that I couldn't get any of it out there.
>>7684702
Ive never seen cheerwine in my life but I'll look for it the next time I travel through the mid atlantic.
>>7685119
>southwest
I'm on the Texas border and I've never seen cactus cooler. Is it in Arizona or something?
>>7677833
I grew up in glorious nippon so melon float is the classic float to me, really nostalgic taste.
>>7685828
If you're in New England, there's a kitchen store near me that sells it. It tastes a bit like cough syrup. Store is Kitchen and Company in New Hampshire
How does this taste?
Pistacio and cream soda is tastey as fuck
>>7685828
It's a southern soda. They've recently done some national expansion but as far as I know it's difficult to find outside of the south, while they have it in Walmart and other grocery stores here in North Carolina. It's a cherry cola. Truly one of the best sodas I've found.
Cheerwine floats are good. They're even sold at a regional burger chain called Cookout, but I rarely get them from Cookout because they have 40 flavors of 1000kcal milkshakes that you can mix and match however you want. They're cheap and burgers are decent too.
>>7685835
CA for sure, huge presence here.
>>7685941
I love Dr. Pepper but the floats are just above "meh" tier. Cola and root beer work much better.
>>7676626
It's basically an orange creamsicle in float form, which is a pretty solid choice.
>>7687595
I haven't tried it, but I did just have a cantaloupe aguas fresca and it inspired me to try a cactus cooler with cantaloupe vanilla ice cream float.
Sounds like a solid idea to me.
>>7680113
>be me
>live in California
>only seen one A&W
>it was a joint restaraunt with kfc
True story
>>7684702
It's Delaware down to SC thing, maybe as far as Georgia
VA here, see it all the time. It's like Dr Pepper but with more cherry.
Orange sherbet with Dr. Pepper
>>7676424
God tier float: strawberry ice cream with sprite
Orange soda does not go well with chocolate peanut butter swirl ice cream. I suspect it wouldn't work with any ice cream that has peanut butter in it.
>>7687595
>cactus cooler
Wasn't this the name of a drink from The Flintstones?
>>7689904
i hope so.
>>7676585
Oh my God, this is probably exactly what I always imagined butterbeer tasted like. Thank you, kinda anon, for giving me something to look forward to
Grape soda + good vanilla is something I've only tried recently but it was amazing.
you guys made me want to make a float. then i remember i haven't bought soda in years
>>7677897
oh shit that looks bomb
>>7676424
1. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl
2. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of B&B over the ice cream
3. Optionally, sprinkle some coarse sea salt on top
4. ?????
5. PROFIT
