# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • The coconut cream creates the most gorgeous swirled effect as it floats on top
  • Blackberry and Dr Pepper sound odd together but they balance each other perfectly
  • Ready in under five minutes with zero special equipment required
02 -
  • The coconut cream must be cold and thick or it will sink instead of float beautifully on top
  • Stirring too vigorously will blend everything into one color so trust that gentle marble swirl
  • This drink is best enjoyed immediately while the layers are still distinct and the ice hasn't watered it down
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before building this drink for optimal temperature
  • If your coconut cream isn't thick enough pop it in the fridge for an hour before using
