Soda Float Party and #ShareaCokeContest Trip for 2!
It has never been easier – or more exciting – to Share a Coke with family, friends, party guests, colleagues and more. This year, Coca-Cola will offer consumers the ability to personalize and purchase iconic eight-ounce glass “Share a Coke” bottles on ShareaCoke.com.
Because Coca Cola knows how important it is to spend time with loved ones during special moments in our lives–whether an out-of-town wedding, a family reunion, a graduation, Father’s Day, a summer barbecue, or even a long weekend with a cross-country friend–this summer could be your chance to connect with that person. Read on to find out how you can win this easy contest!
We are celebrating our daughter’s high school graduation in style–our last child to leave the home, which means we are on our way to empty-nester-land–this year with a Soda Float Party, including 8-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola® personalized with “Abby ’15.”
Abby ’15!
Here’s a big CHEERS to our graduating girl!
Custom order.
These cute custom-ordered “Share a Coke” bottles are so fun! For your next celebration, select or request a name up to 18 characters on the label, and then have them delivered within 7 to 10 business days!
Soda Float Party.
Everyone serves themselves with little mess and stress.
Soda poured onto a delicious scoop of ice-cold ice cream or gelato. The key to a successful soda float station is to start with ice-cold products.
Set-Up.
The basic set-up includes a table, flowers and a tassel garland, a tub for ice to store the ice cream, an ice cream scoop, ice-cold glasses (canning jars work fabulously – mix and match the colors), spoons and straws.
For the Coca-Cola® bottles, remember to leave a bottle opener at this station!
Ice Cream, Gelato, or Sorbet.
Set out a variety of ice creams, gelatos, or sorbets, placing them in one large tub filled with ice. Don’t forget to add in unusual flavors, such as Salted Caramel, or Cookie Butter ice cream.
Abby ’15 Bottles.
Serve Customized Coca-Cola® bottles and chilled glasses to ensure the coldest drink! You can also set out an assortment of sodas, such as root beer, fruity seltzers, and cream soda.
Toppings.
Although toppings aren’t really necessary with a float, some guests may enjoy making a sundae. Set out other toppings such as chocolate, caramel, cookie pieces, and chocolate sprinkles.

Hello and welcome to my home and table!
I’m Sandy—lover of food, family, cooking, THE BIG BOARD, travel, and bringing people together. Through great recipes and connection around the table, we become better, stronger, and more courageous people. Feasting on Life is real, and every time we do it, we grow a little more. Read more...
BBQed burgers on homemade buttermilk buns, special sauce and all the fixings (don’t forget the bacon and avo). Gallons of sweet tea and the honorees favorite dessert, I’m a baker, it’s a given.
we love to host parties at my home especially barbecues.
We always get together to celebrate whenever family comes in from out of town to visit. Everyone brings something different and we usually make something on the grill. Then we linger at the table and tell stories over dessert.

We love to gather out on our back deck and fire pit patio, good food and drink, plus music and twinkly lights. It’s the good stuff of life. LOVE those customizable Coca-Cola bottles!
We love to have casual gatherings with immediate family to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. Sometimes we just gather over a meal to celebrate family. Barbecues and Shrimp Boils are huge favorites.
We celebrate special moments by preparing special foods, drinks and games and we take lots of pictures to share with family and friends who can’t be there, we also read out the names of our deceased friends and family.
How do you celebrate sharable moments with friends and family?
we all get together at my home on the river and have great cookouts and buffet meals!
Our shareable moments are centered around our favorite family recipes.
We have a nice family dinner and good conversation!

My late mother-in-law used to buy the little 6-ounce glass bottles of Coke by the wooden case! Celebrations at my house always call for a spread of sweet and savory foods and drinks that are the favorites of the guest of honor.
We celebrate with backyard parties, either at home or at my grandparents’ cottage on the lake. Everyone brings a dish to share and, at the cottage, the night usually ends with a bonfire.
Food. Stories. Adventures.
We usually celebrate with a family or friends gathering with food and grilling on the Big Green Egg. Lots of outdoor time and coke is always served!
