Step into the world of timeless indulgence with the classic ice cream float. Also known as a "Spider" in Australia, this deliciously refreshing treat was first invented by Robert McCay Green in 1874, in Philadelphia, USA. As the story goes, on a hot day, Green ran out of ice for his flavored drinks and reached for vanilla ice cream from a nearby vendor, birthing a new and timeless beverage.

The name "Spider" was adopted by Australians due to the web-like reaction created when the ice cream meets the soda. From its traditional roots with either lime or pink cream soda, the ice cream float has evolved into a variety of tantalizing flavors enjoyed by people all over the world.

This simple and versatile recipe is perfect for those looking to enjoy a sweet treat without the added sugar or excess calories.
