Easy Strawberry Float Recipe

The cooler temps really bring on a super sweet taste in most berry varieties.
This has got to be the easiest float recipe every using strawberries. If you want to get creative you could always use my raspberry ice cream recipe and substitute strawberries to make homemade ice cream. Today for this recipe I cheated and bought yummy strawberry ice cream from the grocery store.
