Apple Cider Float

This Apple Cider Float is such a tasty fall treat! It's fizzy from club soda and super refreshing! The ice cream makes it nice and creamy too!

Pumpkin always gets so hyped up for fall, but apple is really where it's at! Specifically, fresh apple cider. I always get super excited when it starts arriving in the grocery stores near me. 

This sparkling Apple Cider Float is fun, and so easy to make! 

My daughter helped me assemble them, and in no time, we were sitting at the table enjoying every sip. I love when the ice cream starts melting into the cider. It makes it so creamy and sweet. This is truly the perfect fall recipe.


If you love apple drinks as much as I do, try this Apple Honey Vodka Cocktail or Golden Swirl Cranberry Apple Cocktail!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

  • If you can't find fresh apple cider, Simply Apple is a great substitute.
  • If you prefer your float more sweet, use lemon lime soda or ginger ale instead of club soda. We also use unflavored sparkling water instead of club soda. 
  • Caramel syrup is also great drizzled on top, or the inside of the glass. A fresh apple slice is a great garnish too.
