New Coke flavor I tried

Okay, so I finally got my hands on the much-talked-about Coca-Cola Cherry Float! I'd been seeing it pop up everywhere, and as a huge fan of anything cherry-flavored, especially Coca-Cola Cherry, I just had to try this new twist. I picked up the 20 FL OZ bottle, which has that distinctive red and pink label with the dessert illustration, and was genuinely excited to see how they translated a 'float' into a soda. My first thought when I popped the cap was, 'Will this actually taste like a dessert?' The aroma was definitely cherry, but there was a subtle creaminess to it that hinted at something more. Taking the first sip, it was... interesting. The initial burst is undeniably cherry, and it's a good, strong cherry flavor, similar to what you'd expect from a Coca-Cola product. But then, there's this underlying sweetness, almost like a vanilla or creamy note, trying to mimic the ice cream part of a float. For me, this is where it gets a little tricky. I was really hoping for that perfect blend of fizz and creamy indulgence, but I found the 'float' aspect to be a bit subtle, almost like an afterthought. It’s not as rich or decadent as a real cherry float, which, let's be fair, is a high bar for a canned drink! It’s more like a cherry coke with a hint of something extra sweet, rather than a full-on float experience. I've heard some people say they found it at their local Tesco, and I picked mine up at a regular supermarket, so it seems to be widely available now. Compared to my beloved classic Coca-Cola Cherry, I have to say, the original still reigns supreme for me. The classic has that crisp, refreshing cherry taste that I crave, without the added creamy layer. The Cherry Float flavor felt a bit heavier, and while it wasn't bad by any means – it's still a decent drink – it didn't quite hit the same refreshing spot. It’s definitely a unique taste, and I can see why some people might absolutely love it, especially if they enjoy sweeter, more dessert-like sodas. So, would I recommend trying the Coca-Cola Cherry Float? Absolutely! Taste is so subjective, and what doesn't quite hit the mark for me might be your new favorite. It’s a fun novelty, and worth experiencing just to see what the hype is about. If you're curious about new soda flavors or enjoy a sweeter, more complex cherry drink, give it a go. But if you're a purist like me, who appreciates the straightforward, crisp taste of a classic Cherry Coke, you might find yourself, like me, reaching for the original again next time.
