# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes literally five minutes and feels like something you would pay twelve dollars for at a beachside bar.
- The marbled, dirty swirl when the cream hits the soda is genuinely beautiful and makes people say wait what is that every single time you serve it.
02 -
- If you pour the soda too aggressively you will kill most of the carbonation instantly so tilt the glass slightly and pour against the side like you would with beer.
- The cream mixture separates if it sits too long so drink it soon after mixing for the best texture and visual appeal.
03 -
- Chill every single ingredient before assembling because warm cream meeting cold soda creates a weird texture that no amount of ice can fully fix.
- For extra visual drama, drizzle a tiny bit of mango syrup down the inside of the glass before adding the cream mixture and watch it streak through like a sunset.
