03 - Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled lemon-lime soda into each glass to prevent excessive foaming.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Takes literally ten minutes from freezer to glass, making it perfect for spontaneous summer moments
- The combination of creamy coconut milk with carbonated soda creates this incredible frothy texture that feels restaurant fancy
02 -
- Work quickly once you add the soda because the carbonation starts dissipating immediately and you want that fresh fizz factor
- Using completely frozen fruit is non negotiable here since ice cubes would water down your beautifully concentrated tropical flavors
03 -
- Blend your fruit base in the morning and keep it frozen in ice cube trays, then just blend quickly with a splash of coconut milk when ready to serve
- The best carbonation happens when you pour the soda against the back of a spoon tilted into the glass to preserve those precious bubbles
