Summer is here, 4th of July is just around the corner, and we are ready to serve up some nice cold red white and blue floats at our next celebration! These sweet treats are not only fast and easy, but they are also really fun to put together with all the cherries, sprinkles, whip cream, straws, and kabob sticks. (And, yes! Those are star kabob sticks – aren’t they fabulous?)
