There’s a certain kind of joy that only an old-fashioned spider can bring. The fizz. The froth. That moment the scoop of ice cream hits the soda and bubbles up like magic. Whether you grew up calling it a spider or later discovered it as a “float,” this nostalgic treat is just as fun (and delicious) as you remember.
Perfect for warm afternoons, weekend barbecues, or simply treating yourself or the kids, the Creamy Soda Spider delivers a creamy, fizzy, feel-good moment in a glass.
You can even swap in Red Elk Sarsaparilla Syrup to create your own homemade Root Beer Float.
