Questions

Can I make Limeade Soda Float dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 scoops vanilla ice cream. Swap the vanilla ice cream for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I halve or double Limeade Soda Float?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
