- Mix with ice cream for a float

The most common way to enjoy cream soda is by opening the can or bottle and pouring it into a glass, often with ice. For a classic soda float, pour cream soda over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It can also be used in baking, where its sweetness and moisture can contribute to cakes and muffins. Some people also use it as a mixer in alcoholic beverages, combining it with spirits like rum or vodka for a simple, sweet cocktail.
