Dr Pepper is putting the ice cream float idea in a soda can. The new Dr Pepper Ice Cream Float flavor arrives nationwide in February 2027, and it is joining the permanent lineup.
No scoop required. No racing the ice cream before it melts over the side of the glass, either.
According to Keurig Dr Pepper’s October 5 announcement, the soda combines the brand’s familiar 23-flavor base with vanilla ice cream flavor, caramel and butterscotch notes. That is the company’s description; we have not tasted it yet.
When can you buy Dr Pepper Ice Cream Float?
Regular and Zero Sugar versions are planned for February 2027 in cans and 20-ounce bottles. Fountain and frozen versions will follow around the middle of the year.
This is an advance announcement, so February is the month to watch. KDP has not given an exact on-shelf day, price or store-by-store rollout.
Yes, Dr Pepper float ice cream was already a thing
If the name sounds familiar, you might remember Blue Bell’s Dr Pepper Float ice cream from 2023. That was vanilla ice cream with Dr Pepper-flavored sherbet. This upcoming release takes the idea in the other direction: a float-inspired soda.
The useful part for anyone tired of chasing limited-edition flavors: KDP says this one is staying in the lineup.
