Star-shaped sprinkles float on the freshly whipped waves of cream spiraling above a Pacific Sunrise—a soda made from orange juice, passionfruit puree, and peach puree.
Sitting outside with cars passing behind me, the soda's deep orangey-pink matches the candy powder drifting next to the rainbow of stars. I break through the array with a squish, pushing a thick straw in to take a sip. Pleasantly surprised, the tangy-sweet beverage tastes of fruit and bubbles that make me giggle.
