Scale

- 2 generous scoops (about 1 cup or 240 ml) vanilla ice cream
- Optional garnish: orange slices, maraschino cherry, mint leaves
Instructions
- Chill your glass in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Place two generous scoops (about 1 cup / 240 ml) of creamy vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass.
- Measure out 12 fl oz (355 ml) of orange crush soda and pour it gently over the ice cream to avoid excessive foam.

Notes
Chill the glass, soda, and ice cream beforehand for best results. Pour soda slowly to control foam. Use creamy, full-fat vanilla ice cream for optimal texture. Serve immediately for best fizz and creaminess.
