In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the juices to release and form a fresh strawberry sauce. - Assemble the Float:

Slowly pour the chilled strawberry soda over the ice cream and strawberry layers. - Garnish and Serve:
If desired, top the float with whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Customization: You can add extra strawberry sauce if you want a more fruity flavor. Adjust the amount of soda based on your preference for a sweeter or creamier float.
- Strawberry Variations: For an extra touch, try using macerated strawberries with a dash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for added flavor.
