# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a spa day in a glass without requiring a trip to an actual coffee shop or fancy café.
  • The pineapple-ginger syrup is so versatile you'll find yourself drizzling it on yogurt, desserts, and even sparkling water long after the drink is finished.
02 -
  • If you let the syrup cool while still warm, it can separate or crystallize, so always wait until it's completely cold before opening the shaker.
  • The drink tastes noticeably better when shaken rather than stirred, because the shaking incorporates air and creates that luxurious foamy texture that makes it feel special.
03 -
  • Chill all your ingredients, including the glasses if you have time, because there's nothing worse than a tropical drink that's lost its chill halfway through.
  • The secret to a perfectly balanced drink is tasting it as you go and remembering that the ginger and passionfruit tartness grow more pronounced as the ice melts, so you might want the drink slightly sweeter than your instinct suggests.
