Styling and garnish guide
Spoon-back layering
Spoon the date foam on slowly for a thick, caramel-colored cap.
Hold a spoon upside down just above the drink's surface and pour slowly over its back so the liquid spreads gently and floats in a crisp layer.
Syrup drizzle
Finish with a fine maple drizzle in a spiral.
Before adding ice, tilt the glass and drizzle syrup down the inside walls in thin stripes for a café-style swirl.
Cute toppings
Top with chopped dates and a pinch of flaky salt.
Finish with a light sprinkle right before serving so it sits on the foam instead of sinking.
