- Or pour this drink into the empty coconut and serve with a straw.
- You can never go wrong with the traditional way of infusing salt over the rim of the glass, especially over a martini glass.
- Or you can stick a slice of lemon, orange, or strawberry on the rim of the glass. Or even a lemon peel will be good enough.
- Put shaved ice or grated coconut pieces on top. Or even chocolate just for fun.
- Also, apply chocolate/strawberry sauce or rose syrup on the edges. Or make a pattern with them in the glass. Then pour the drink.
- You can arrange the pieces of fruits you are using on a toothpick (or skewer if the glass is more oversized). Berries will look exceptional presented like this.
- If you like simplicity, then garnish the drink with rose petals.
- Put a scoop of ice cream of any flavour you like.
