🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups cola (or root beer)
✓ 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 4 oz high-protein frozen Greek yogurt (vanilla)
✓ 3 tbsp allulose-sweetened caramel syrup
✓ 1/2 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
✓ 2 tbsp sugar-free whipped cream (or coconut cream)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Chill Your Glasses: Place two tall glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes. This keeps carbonation active and prevents the float from melting too quickly.

2. Mix the Base: In a small bowl, whisk together allulose caramel syrup and bourbon vanilla extract until fully combined. Set aside.

3. Pour the Milk Layer: Remove chilled glasses. Divide unsweetened almond milk evenly between both glasses (1/2 cup each). Gently pour the caramel-vanilla mixture into each, stirring to combine.

4. Add the Cola: Slowly pour 3/4 cup cola into each glass, pouring down the side to preserve carbonation. Leave 1-2 inches at the top for the float.

5. Top with Frozen Yogurt: Using an ice cream scoop, place 2 oz of frozen Greek yogurt into each glass, nestling it gently on top of the cola mixture. The float should sit slightly proud of the rim.

6. Create the 'Dirty' Rim: Pour crushed pretzels and a pinch of sea salt onto a small plate. Lightly dab the rim of each glass with a damp cloth, then press into the pretzel mixture for a sweet-salty edge.

7. Garnish & Serve: Top each float with 1 tbsp sugar-free whipped cream, one maraschino cherry, cocoa nibs, and a light caramel drizzle. Insert a long spoon and serve immediately.

8. Sip & Enjoy: Drink immediately while the float is melting into the cola—this creates the authentic creamy-fizzy experience.
