Martha Stewart, the renowned American lifestyle maven, has elevated the simple act of drinking Coca-Cola into an art form, sharing a clever ice cube hack on social media that has both the beverage giant and fans applauding her ingenuity. Stewart's technique for creating the ultimate refreshing summer drink involves freezing the soda itself into ice cubes, ensuring the classic beverage never becomes diluted – a trick that Coca-Cola itself called "genius" in response.
There's no better way to cool down during summer than with a refreshing drink. But if you ask cooking and entertaining guru Martha Stewart, she suggests upgrading your regular can of Coca-Cola and turning it into an especially sweet treat.

On her Instagram, Martha recently shared how she prepares her version of a float. Originally, a Coke float is a dessert drink composed of two main ingredients: Coke (or a similar carbonated beverage) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Coke is poured into a tall glass, and then the ice cream is placed on top, where it "floats" on the surface. As the ice cream begins to melt, it creates a creamy, frothy layer.
But you can count on Martha Stewart to give this dessert-drink a worthy upgrade, and she does it using ice cubes made from Coke, a cold bottle of the beverage, and a giant scoop of fresh whipped cream instead of ice cream, which is typically required for the dessert drink.

First, she pours the Coke into ice cube trays for freezing. "This way, you can enjoy truly cold Coca-Cola," Martha Stewart said in the video, and any true Coke lover who hates when ice made from water melts into their drink can appreciate the tip and relate.
Several followers recommended using vanilla ice cream to make the classic float, while others wrote that it reminded them of a "dirty soda," the viral drink that typically includes some type of carbonated beverage, cream, and flavored syrups.
No matter what you call Martha's version of the classic float, there's no doubt that this drink is a tasty treat for the hot weather affecting us. "Perfect for summer, brings back memories of days gone by," Martha Stewart said. Even if the combination with whipped cream challenges you a bit, there's no doubt that the Coke-ice tip is worth adopting.
