Instructions

  1. In a 10-ounce glass, add 3 or 4 scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt.
  2. Pour Kern's peach juice into the glass to fill it.

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider using Greek frozen yogurt instead of regular. If peach juice isn't available, mango or raspberry juice can be a delicious alternative. You can also add fresh fruit slices for added flavor and texture. This Summer Float is a great way to cool off, especially during hot weather, and can be customized with various flavors of frozen yogurt.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Summer Float in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh fruit for an appealing presentation. This float pairs beautifully with American recipes like Martha'S Lemon Supreme Cake or a refreshing salad like Cool Pink Salad for a complete summer meal.

Storage & Reheating

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store any remaining mixture in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. If separated, stir before serving again. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing, as the yogurt may become a bit firmer. Avoid reheating, as this dish is meant to be served cold.
