# Expert tips:

01 -
  • This refresher is ridiculously easy but always impresses friends.
  • The candy-inspired flavor brings out smiles and conversation every time.
02 -
  • If you don't shake it well enough, the coconut milk stays separated and the drink looks a bit odd.
  • A tiny splash of dragon fruit juice transforms the color from pale to punchy pink, which everyone always notices.
03 -
  • Vigorous shaking is key for the most creamy, unified color and flavor.
  • Adding vanilla syrup in increments lets you avoid oversweetening by accident.
