# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get that tropical resort feeling in about five minutes with zero cooking involved.
- The creamy swirl against the bright fizz is genuinely fun to look at and even better to drink.
02 -
- Stirring too aggressively kills the marble effect and turns it into a flat cloudy drink that looks way less impressive.
- Chilling every single liquid ingredient beforehand makes a massive difference in how the flavors come together.
03 -
- Pour the soda down the side of the glass instead of straight into the center to preserve more carbonation in the final drink.
- A tiny pinch of sea salt on top right before serving makes the tropical flavors pop in a way that surprises everyone including you.
