Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier float, use a rich frozen yogurt like vanilla or chocolate. If you want to add a twist, consider mixing in some fruit-flavored yogurt. You can also substitute diet cherry 7-Up with other diet sodas like diet root beer for a different flavor. For added texture, you could blend in some crushed ice before adding the yogurt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Diet Cherry 7-Up Float in tall glasses for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with light snacks like Col. Sanders' 'Kentucky' Biscuits or a fruit salad. For an extra special touch, garnish with fresh berries or banana slices for color and flavor, making it a delightful dessert for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
This float is best enjoyed fresh, as the carbonation will diminish over time. If you have leftovers, store the soda and frozen yogurt separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reassemble in a glass, but note that the float may not have the same fizz as when freshly made.
