It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we have the perfect drink to celebrate with! These cupid ice cream floats are an easy, fun drink to make to share with those you love.

My boys love ice cream floats. Doesn’t get any better than being able to combine two of their favorite treats – ice cream and soda!! I thought for Valentine’s Day it would be fun to make pink ice cream floats. This was inspired by this raspberry punch that my kids love and we have at a lot of our parties.

I also couldn’t decide if we should use raspberry sherbet or vanilla ice cream. Both seemed like such good choices. So I went with both, of course! As you can see, the sherbet will definitely give you more of a pink drink. So use that if you’re really wanting to emphasize the pink color. Both options are equally delicious!
