Summer is all about entertaining, staying cool, and having fun. What a better way to kick off the summer season than with delicious Cherry Limeade Ice Cream Floats.
This recipe was such a riot to make. I love when recipes are vibrant and fun. This one fits the bill. It’s so easy to make. It’s also perfect for anyone wanting to keep their calorie intake low.
For this recipe I used Sparkling Ice Cherry Limeade which is a Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water. It has Zero Calories and the taste is out of this world. You can’t beat Cherry Limeade. Nope.
I used a really good quality vanilla ice cream for this recipe. If you really want to keep the calorie count down use frozen yogurt, sorbet, or a low fat ice cream. Using any of those will keep this a super low calorie treat.
When Sparkling Ice asked me to be part of their Flavor Up your summer with Sparkling Ice Campaign I was thrilled to get involved. I’ll be sharing 3 posts this summer using their fabulous sparkling waters, teas, and lemonades.
Sparkling Ice wants you to seize the day, to “DO MORE. LIVE MORE. AND EXPERIENCE MORE.” I absolutely dig this idea. My regular readers know I love to live my life to the fullest, so this campaign was a perfect fit for me.
They offer a full array of products. Sparkling Ice is available in 20 different flavors. Drinks are made with real fruit, and some fabulous Fizz.
What I love about their products is the bold taste of them. Every single one is bursting with amazing flavor. I’m all about my drinks tasting fruity so their products really appeal to me.
I’d love to challenge all of you to Flavor Up your summer with Sparkling Ice!. Tag me on Instagram (@cravingsofalunatic) to tell me how you are getting creative this summer. Feel free to include Sparkling Ice in your post and tag them too (@sparklingice).

We have Sparkling Ice in our new vending machine at the studio, and I swear IT MAKES ME JUMP HIGHER. They are my most favourite long-teaching day treat…
Kim Beaulieu says
That’s so awesome you have it in your vending machines. It’s good stuff. I’ve had so much fun playing with different flavours. I can just imagine you jumping higher and soaring majestically through the air while holding a Sparkling Ice.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
That is delish! Sweet and zesty. bring it on!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Rebecca.
Marye says
Oh yum, this looks like a fun warm weather treat!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Marye. We had a blast the day we made these. So much fun and they’re so delicious.
Chrisy @ Homemade Hooplah says
These sound absolutely DELICIOUS! And the heat is already here with a vengeance in AZ – I’ll have to make these this weekend when we have company over!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Chrisy. I want to come come to Arizona for the big Arabian Horse Shows that you guys are famous for. My friend’s parents live there and we’ve been talking about visiting. She warned me that if we do it’s wicked hot. It gets hot here too but nothing like where you live. Right now we’re still sort of cool, especially at night. It doesn’t usually warm up till end of May, then it hits with full force till September. Ha.
Enjoy if you make them. I’m a sucker for pink drinks and food.
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes says
What a crazy good idea! I love that I only need 2 ingredients!
Kim Beaulieu says

Nice idea for a super-simple, yet special-seeming, treat! And your photos are adorable!!!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Jill. I really appreciate it.
Michelle De La Cerda says
What a fun twist on a float. I love root beer floats so I am sure I would love these and so would my family.
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Michelle. I’m a float fanatic. I could drink them all day long, ever single day.
Lora @savoringitaly says
Pink was always my favorite color and how I love these pretty pink floats! Great way to use the Sparkling Ice drink, Kim! It’s super fun for the super hot summer days that are soon arriving!!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks so much Lora. I’m a pink girl all the way. So funny because my daughter hates pink. I also adore burgundy, the shade closest to a merlot colour. Almost every room in my house has hints of that. It’s everywhere.
I can’t wait for summer. More sipping, less work, lots of time with the hooligans.
Renee - Kudos Kitchen says
You can’t get must simpler, or tastier than this. Perfect for cooling off in the summer heat….or anytime for that matter.
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Renee. I dig a cool summer sip.
Karyn @ Pint Sized Baker says
I love those Sparliking Ice drinks. These floats look amazing! I want to dive into one right now!
carrol says
Wish I’d found this post before I finished the last Cherry Limeade Sparkling Ice. Probably won’t work the same with the Grapefruit S.I. in the fridge. Will save for next time though. Thanks for sharing!
Kim Beaulieu says
Thanks Carrol. Try making granita with the grapefruit one. I bet it would be amazing!!
ERLENE says
Omg this is really simple to make! My daughter wants to give this recipe a try. Thank you for sharing on the Merry Monday party!
