# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The combination of tart raspberries, cool mint, and creamy vanilla ice cream hits every flavor profile at once
- It comes together in 10 minutes but looks like something from a fancy brunch spot
- You can customize the sweetness and make it completely dairy-free without losing any of the fun
02 -
- These drinks start separating quickly, so have everyone ready at the table before adding the ice cream
- The ice cream acts as a sweetener too, so start with less simple syrup if you prefer things less sugary
- Muddling too aggressively breaks down the mint into bitter little pieces, light pressure is all you need
03 -
- Use the back of a wooden spoon if you do not have a muddler, it works just as well
- Letting the muddled mixture sit for 5 minutes before adding soda intensifies the raspberry flavor
