Begin by placing three generous scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream into a tall glass, allowing it to sit for a moment at room temperature, so it softens slightly and is easier to scoop.

Gently pour orange soda over the ice cream, filling the glass to about three-quarters full.

Drizzle fresh orange juice over the top of the float, about 1-2 tablespoons, allowing it to swirl and mix with the soda.

Generously add a dollop of whipped cream on top of your float, creating a whimsical look.

Finish your Creamsicle Float by sprinkling fresh orange zest on top and adorning the glass with a slice of orange on the rim.
