Tangerine-Vanilla Floats

Here is a refreshing twist on a Creamsicle: a swirl of vanilla ice cream (either store-bought or homemade, your preference) doused in fresh tangerine juice and seltzer. Get an industrious child to help juice the tangerines. Their reward will be sprightly, sweet and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 6 large scoops vanilla ice cream
• 3 cups freshly squeezed tangerine juice (from about 12 tangerines) or orange juice (see note)
• Seltzer

6 servings

Preparation

1. Divide ice cream among 6 medium-size glasses or cups. Add 1/2 cup tangerine juice to each cup and top off with seltzer. Serve with a straw.

• Fresh orange juice can be used instead of tangerine juice, but it should be very sweet and not too acidic. Try adding superfine sugar to taste.
