- Soda — Experiment with different soda flavors to find your favorite combination. Adjust the amount of soda based on personal preference for a stronger or milder soda flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle chocolate syrup or caramel sauce over the ice cream before adding the soda.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors to create unique combinations, such as chocolate ice cream with cherry soda or strawberry ice cream with lemon-lime soda.
- Use a chilled glass to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.

- For a festive touch, use colored soda or add sprinkles on top of the whipped cream.
