Dominion Creamy Orange Float
A good ol’ American float can bring the child out in anyone. The creaminess of this crafted orange soda complements that of the ice cream. Simple, yet special.
Ingredients
Old Dominion Creamy Orange Soda – 355ml bottle
Premium vanilla ice-cream – 3-4 scoops

Place 3-4 scoops of ice cream in the glass. Pour over ice-cold Old Dominion Creamy Orange Soda and watch it dance and then dig in. (If the soda is too warm it will melt the ice-cream too quickly).
Dominion Black Cherry Tiramisu
This recipe is a sure winner for any gathering, loved by the kids and adults. The mascarpone gives a rich creamy texture, all complemented by the sweet cherry and bitter cocoa flavours. Best of all it involves no cooking and is so quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- Old Dominion Black Cherry Soda – 355ml bottle
- Trifle Sponge Fingers - 2 boxes
- Mascarpone Cheese, 400g
- Caster Sugar, 50g (more optional, depending on how sweet the tooth!)
- Cocoa Powder, 1-2 tablespoons
- Cherries, de-stoned (optional)
Directions
Lay the trifle sponge fingers at the bottle of the lasagne style dish in one layer and without gaps. Slowly and evenly pour the Dominion Black Cherry Soda over each of the trifle fingers so that they are well covered. The fingers will absorb the liquid; be sure they are moist all over but not saturated.
Place the mascarpone cheese and caster sugar in a bowl and whisk together until blended and the cheese is thick and creamy. Then smear this over the top of the black cherry trifle fingers. Use the back of a fork to give an even surface. Finally, using the sieve, evenly dust the cocoa powder all over the top of the mascarpone. If you wish, decorate with fresh ripe cherries place approximately 3cm apart. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
