# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No one expects how deeply refreshing the coconut and strawberry combo is—I didn&apost until I tried it.
  • It comes together so fast you can practically make it while people are kicking off their shoes at the door.
02 -
  • Once I tried blending warm coconut milk and it turned the whole thing chalky—always start cold.
  • Skipping the mint garnish once made the flavor feel oddly flat; it really does matter.
03 -
  • Don&apost over-blend the ice or it turns watery quick; you want just enough for fluffy froth.
  • A pinch of sea salt, though unusual, brightens the flavors way more than expected.
