# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You get to create a café-worthy treat at home without any mystery ingredients.
  • This drink is ridiculously vibrant, instantly brightening up whatever mood you bring into the kitchen.
02 -
  • Once, I used canned coconut milk and the drink turned puzzlingly thick—stick to carton coconut milk for the right consistency.
  • Swapping in apple juice keeps the flavor mellow, while grape juice delivers a punchy finish.
03 -
  • Don’t skip tasting before adding sweetness—dragon fruit and strawberries can vary wildly.
  • Fresh lime juice brings out the best flavor; bottled doesn’t compare.
