This diet root beer is best served cold. Open the can or bottle and pour into a glass, ideally over ice. For a classic root beer float, pour it over a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.

Some bakers even incorporate it into recipes for cakes or cookies to impart a unique sweetness and aroma.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its carbonation and flavor, store unopened cans or bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate any remaining liquid and consume within a few days for the best quality. Avoid storing opened containers at room temperature.
