# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes flat
  • The frothy texture makes it feel fancy enough for guests
02 -
  • The foam disappears pretty quickly after blending so serve it right away for the best presentation
  • Straining twice makes it completely smooth but once is usually enough
03 -
  • Use ripe grapes that are slightly soft, underripe ones make the drink taste sharp
  • The longer you blend it the frothier it gets
