# How to Make It:

# Tips for Success:
01 -
- It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like you fussed over something elegant
- The combination of cold cream and juicy fruit hits that perfect spot between refreshing and indulgent
02 -
- Overwhipped cream turns to butter faster than you expect, so stop the moment those peaks barely hold their shape
- The mint is meant to be a whisper, not a shout, so use restraint when tucking it into the cream
03 -
- Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling, because cold vessels keep everything fresher longer
- A splash of orange liqueur in the cream transforms this into something decidedly grownup and dinner party worthy
