- Customize the fizz by experimenting with different sparkling waters or low-sugar sodas to control sweetness and create unique flavor combinations.
- Freeze maraschino cherries or heart-shaped candies beforehand to prevent them from melting quickly and maintain their decorative appeal.
- Use a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers and vibrant colors, making the float not just a drink but a visual treat that’s perfect for romantic occasions or fun gatherings.
