# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The contrast between tart berries and sweet vanilla ice cream creates that perfect diner float nostalgia but elevated
- It looks impressive and fancy but comes together in literally ten minutes flat
02 -
- The ice cream will melt faster than you think so have everything ready before scooping
- Muddling too hard makes the mint bitter which is why gentle twisting works best
03 -
- Use a wooden spoon if you do not have a muddler because it works just as well for crushing berries
- The ratio of sodas can be adjusted for more or less sweetness depending on your berries
