Instructions

Prepare the glass (2 minutes):
- Choose a large, tall glass to accommodate the kombucha and ice cream. If desired, chill the glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes before assembling to keep the float cold longer.
Add the ice cream (2 minutes):
- Place two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass.
Pour the juice and kombucha (1 minute):
- Slowly pour the cherry juice and cherry kombucha over the vanilla ice cream. Pour carefully to minimize foaming, allowing the kombucha to cascade gently onto the ice cream, creating a layered effect.
Garnish and serve (1 minute):
- Garnish the float with fresh cherries on top. For an extra touch of flavor and elegance, add a sprig of mint or a drizzle of cherry syrup over the ice cream.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon and a straw to enjoy both the creamy and effervescent components of the float.

Notes

The key to the perfect float is using cold ingredients to maintain the desired temperature and texture.

Feel free to the amount of kombucha based on your preference for sweetness or tartness can personalize the float to your liking.
