# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes about five minutes from fridge to glass and looks far more impressive than the effort suggests.
- The combination of creamy coconut and sharp lime creates a flavor that keeps people coming back for refills.
02 -
- Stirring too aggressively kills the fizz and turns the drink into flat sweetness, so go slow and watch the marble pattern form.
- Chilling every ingredient beforehand makes a noticeable difference in how well the cream layer blends with the soda.
03 -
- Pour the soda slowly down the side of the glass to keep the carbonation lively and the layers distinct before you stir.
- Freeze pineapple chunks and use them in place of plain ice for a drink that gets better as it sits.
