# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The spicy ginger kick cuts through the sweet mango in a way that wakes up your entire palate
- Its ridiculously simple but looks impressive enough for guests
- The ice cream slowly melting into the fruit base creates this incredible creaminess you cant get from regular smoothies
02 -
- The ginger flavor mellows slightly as it sits, so if you want more kick add it right before serving
- These floats don't keep well, so make them right before you plan to drink them
- Cold glasses make everything stay refreshing longer, so pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes first
03 -
- If your mango isn't quite ripe enough, a pinch of cayenne pepper will fake that tropical warmth
- Use a wide-mouth glass so you can actually get your spoon in there for the melted ice cream at the bottom
