Step 1: Chill your glasses. Place tall soda glasses or parfait glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before assembling to keep the float frosty and refreshing.

Step 2: Pour the base. Fill each chilled glass halfway with lemon-lime soda or pineapple soda. This will provide the fizzy, refreshing base of your float.

Step 3: Add the ocean magic. Slowly drizzle in the blue raspberry syrup or blue curaçao. The color will swirl through the soda, creating an ocean-blue effect.

Step 4: Scoop in the cream. Gently place one scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream into each glass. It will float to the top, mimicking a pearl bobbing in the sea foam.

Step 5: Top with sparkling flair. Add a splash of coconut sparkling water or cream soda to enhance the fizzy, bubbly layers and lighten the drink.

Step 6: Garnish with fantasy. Top each float with whipped cream, then decorate with edible pearl sprinkles, shimmer dust, or even cotton candy clouds. A maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge perched on top makes it extra festive.

Step 7: Serve with a long spoon and straw. Sip, scoop, and enjoy the blend of fizz, cream, and fruity sweetness.
