# How To Make It:

03 - Pour the cream mixture evenly between the two prepared glasses.
04 - Pour the chilled pineapple soda and coconut-flavored sparkling water over the cream mixture in each glass.
05 - Stir gently until the drink develops a marbled, swirled 'dirty' appearance throughout.
06 - Garnish each glass with fresh pineapple or lime wedges. Serve immediately with a straw.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes literally five minutes and feels like you pulled off something way fancier than mixing liquids in a cup.
- The marbled look when the cream hits the soda is genuinely mesmerizing, and everyone who sees it wants one immediately.
02 -
- If you pour the soda too fast, you will get a volcano of foam, so take it easy and pour down the side of the glass.
- Stirring too aggressively ruins the marbled look entirely, so a few gentle figure eights with your spoon is all you need.
03 -
- Chill every single ingredient beforehand, because warm soda meets cold cream in a way that separates instead of swirls.
- A dash of club soda on top right before serving gives it an extra effervescent kick that makes people close their eyes on the first sip.
