Instructions
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best float experience, chill your cola, half-and-half, and glasses beforehand.

- Introduce the Cream: Gently pour in about 2-3 tablespoons of half-and-half (or your chosen cream substitute) and swirl gently.
- Slowly Add the Cola: Slowly pour your chilled cola over the cream and syrup mixture, pouring down the side of the glass to prevent excessive fizzing.
