Easy Cider Float Recipes

As the crisp fall air rolls in and leaves crunch underfoot, it’s officially cider season. Apple cider is already a fall staple drink, but this year, we’re giving it a refreshing twist by turning it into a float. Think of it as the perfect mash-up of cozy autumn energy and creamy indulgence. And with Good Humor treats, you can transform a simple glass of cider into a dessert mocktail float that’s as fun to make as it is to sip.

The Rise of Hybrid Treats

Hybrid treats have taken the culinary world by storm, blending the best of two favorites to create something unexpectedly delightful. From Pinterest to TikTok, seasonal beverage searches surge between September and November, proving that we love to experiment with cozy flavors and creative drinks this time of year.

How to Build a Cider Mocktail Float

Here’s a simple formula to get started:

Choose your cider: Apple cider is the classic choice, but spiced pear cider, sparkling apple juice, or even cranberry cider can be great twists.
Pick your Good Humor bar: Try the Solero Lime Bar that brings a bright citrusy contrast to sweet cider. For a nostalgic orange-vanilla pairing, try the Creamsicle Bar, or choose the Cheminesse Coconut & Pineapple Bar if you’re after a tropical twist on the classic fall sip.
Build your float: Pour your cider into a glass, add ice if you like, and dunk your Good Humor bar straight in. Let it melt slightly.
Add sparkle: Add sparkling water, alcohol-free champagne, ginger beer, or soda for fizz.
Top it off: Garnish with cinnamon sticks or apple slices or go all out with a sugared rim for that extra festive touch.
