03 - Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled lemon-lime soda into each glass to maintain carbonation and create the layered float effect.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The frozen fruit creates an instant slushy base without any ice diluting the flavors
- It comes together in literally ten minutes but tastes like something from a fancy tiki bar
02 -
- The blender needs to run longer than you think to break down those frozen fruit chunks completely
- Pouring the soda too fast makes everything foam up and overflow, which I learned the messy way
03 -
- If your fruit blend is too thick to pour easily, add just one tablespoon of coconut milk at a time
- The best mango pineapple ratio is exactly equal, but an extra handful of pineapple never hurt anyone
