10 minForget the fancy dinner reservation. Sometimes the most romantic gesture is a tall glass of something pink and fizzy made with your own two hands.
These Valentine sodas are the kind of retro-charming treat that makes kids giggle and grown-ups feel like kids again. Ginger ale bubbles up around generous scoops of strawberry ice cream while whipped cream and a spoonful of strawberry preserves crown the top.
The recipe says “do not stint on ice cream” and honestly, that’s the best cooking advice you’ll hear all year.
Kitchen Tips
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before assembling. A frosty glass keeps everything cold longer and looks gorgeous.
- Pour the ginger ale slowly down the side of the glass. Dumping it straight onto the ice cream creates a fizzy volcano (fun, but messy).
- Swap ginger ale for cream soda or sparkling water for different flavor profiles. Any clear carbonated drink works here.
