Chef's tips
Chill the glass first to keep the float cold longer. Pour the Moxie slowly to create a nice foam without overflowing.
Storage
Best made and consumed immediately.
Reheating
Not applicable; serve cold.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Pouring the soda too fast so it bubbles over the top
- •Using soft ice cream, which makes the float melt too quickly
