As a food blogger I enjoy experimenting beyond the typical uses for pantry staples. My French vanilla creamer is usually for coffee, but it’s lovely in cocktails and desserts too. While I often share easy dinner recipes, I also enjoy crafting simple, fun drinks like this Mimosa Punch, and this Cherry Vanilla Float is another one I’m happy to add to the list.
I had Valentine’s Day in mind when I created this drink. The color and flavor make it festive, romantic, and a unique treat to share with a partner, a close friend, or a group at a themed party.
Only vodka is the alcoholic ingredient here, so you can easily make a family-friendly version by omitting it or substituting extra club soda. With just five main components, these creamy floats are quick to assemble and impressive to serve. Use vodka, grenadine (or cherry syrup), International Delight French Vanilla Creamer, vanilla ice cream, and club soda. For a crowd, combine everything in a punch bowl and scoop into glasses.
Enjoy!
