Halloween treats don’t have to be complicated. 👻 This Jack-O-Lantern orange soda float is a simple, spooky-fun drink that kids (and adults) will love. We made these on a whim, and they were such a hit that I knew I had to share!
Ingredients:
- Orange soda (any brand you like — we used Fanta)
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Clear plastic cups + black Sharpie (to draw jack-o-lantern faces)
Directions:
- Draw jack-o-lantern faces on the outside of clear cups.
- Add a scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream to each cup.
- Pour orange soda over the top.
- Add whipped cream if you want to get extra festive!
- Serve with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
This is such an easy way to make Halloween feel special without a lot of effort. My kids were so excited to drink their “jack-o-lanterns,” and I think this might become a yearly tradition for us.
