Of course, we always serve Coke at all of our parties and get-togethers, but I thought it would be fun to serve some frozen on a stick to celebrate Dad and his favorite drink. Let’s enjoy a traditional Coke Float Popsicle by way of ice cold Coke, vanilla ice cream….and don’t forget the cherry on top! and a Dirty Coke Poptail – Creamy coconut and lime popsicle served upside down in a glass of ice cold Coke.

I have a whole lot of fun for you today!! First off, I’m excited to be partnering up with Coca-Cola once again and I have two Coke Float Popsicle Ideas for Father’s Day or any day! Keep reading for all the sweet details.
Did you know that you can create personalized Coke bottles with the names of your friends and family on them? In my husband’s opinion, the little glass bottles are the best! and he should know 😉 In the 29 years we’ve been married, Coke has always been his beverage of choice. We joke that he bleeds Coke.
Since Father’s Day and his birthday are just around the corner, I thought we could make them a little extra special by personalizing the iconic eight-ounce glass “Share a Coke” bottles with “Dad” and “Steve” from ShareaCoke.com.
Anything customized is is always more fun! right? What Dad wouldn’t love his name on a Coke bottle? 😉 From Father’s Day to graduations, birthdays to weddings, summer barbecues to Fourth of July, “Share a Coke” is perfect for celebrating life’s most shareable moments.
The key to using carbonated soda in a popsicle is to use flat soda. Just open the soda, pour it into a glass and let it sit an hour or more in the refrigerator, so it stays cold, but loses some of the fizz.

Traditional Coke Float Popsicles
- Fill popsicle mold a quarter of the way up with flat Coke. Place 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla ice cream into form, drop one maraschino cherry into the mold and pour a little more coke on top. Leave about 1/4″ on top for the popsicle to expand when it freezes.
- Freeze for about 1-2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and continue freezing popsicles for at least 5 hours, or overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for 2-3 seconds.
TIP: if you don’t have a popsicle mold, you can use small (3-5 oz) paper cups.
Have you heard of a Dirty Coke? It’s a Coke served with coconut, lime, and cream. Well, we’ve made Dirty Coke Popsicles in the past, but this time I decided to make a Dirty Coke Poptail; a Creamy Coconut and Lime popsicle served upside down in a glass of ice cold Coke. The creamy coconut and lime popsicles are good all on their own, but once they’re dunked in a glass of ice-cold Coke the flavors start mixing and the party starts.
both Coke Float Popsicles were a big hit with the family, and make a great treat for entertaining.

We celebrate sharable moments together by having fun and taking lots of pictures.
I love to personalize things by including favorite photos or never before seen shots that I know the recipient will love
I have to try this popsicles ideas, TFS! We always do something special for each of our birthdays I let the kiddos make cards or banners for especial celebrations and staring this year we have decided we will do 1 thing we have never done before per each year celebrated (that is, my child turned 8 so we did 8new things to commemorate) it was a lot of fun and we have adopted this as a new family tradition. It goes along with my “a day per year” celebration style considering that we might not have enough time in a day to do 40+ activities for the oldest members of our family I like to celebrate with little details the same amount of days as the new age of the person, so my child had an 8 day birthday celebration. And of course each sharable moment wether is a birthday or a friendly gathering has to have good food and tons of pics. Thanks again for the chance!

Sounds tasty.

I bust out my Nikon camera and video camera and try to capture the important moments. because when you’re old the only way to remember and look back is photographs or videos. so I think it’s SUPER important to capture these types of moments
We celebrate sharable moments together by having fun and taking lots of pictures.
One shareable moment we celebrate is July 4th. We all meet at my parents and walk to the town parade, the kids love it. We then spend the day swimming and have a huge BBQ with all sorts of foods. Later that evening we walk to the town park where there is a craft fair and rides for the kids. They also have a band playing music and at night they have a very large firework display. I look forward to this every year.
We celebrate our share-able moments by taking lots of pictures to help us remember and celebrate again later.
Family get-togethers around the dinner table are always most memorable. Food brings out the fun and the love.
Hi friends and family gather at our house for food and drinks! Just being together makes it special!!!!

I haven’t gotten together with all three of my son’s in early four years. Two are in the military. One is overseas with his wife and daughter and one is across the country with his wife and daughter (I haven’t even met his wife and they just had their baby a few months ago). The last time we all were together, was when my youngest son graduated from boot camp and my middle son flew back from England. I couldn’t stop
I love celebrating share-able moments with cake and ice cream!
