# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes five minutes from cabinet to glass and requires zero cooking skills whatsoever.
- The creamy layers swirling through bright tropical soda look impressive but could not be simpler to pull off.
02 -
- Stir gently and briefly or you will kill the fizz and end up with flat, sad juice.
- Chill every ingredient beforehand because warm soda and cream separate into an unappetizing layer that no amount of stirring can fix.
03 -
- Pour the soda slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create better visual layers.
- A quick splash of club soda on top right before serving gives it an extra effervescent kick that makes each glass feel special.
