Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup orange soda (preferably a craft or artisanal variety)

½ cup tangy lemon-lime soda

¼ cup vodka (for the 'dirty' twist)

2 tablespoons orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier)

Zest of 1 orange

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Optional: orange slices for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large chilled glass, add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream to the bottom.

    Slowly pour in the orange soda, allowing it to gently combine with the ice cream.

      In a separate shaker, mix the vodka, orange liqueur, and lemon-lime soda with some ice. Shake well.

        Carefully pour the mixed alcoholic soda over the ice cream float, letting it swirl together.

          Sprinkle the orange zest on top for an extra burst of flavor.

            Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves and an optional slice of orange on the rim of the glass.

              Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy the refreshing flavors that dance between tangy, creamy, and sweet!
