cooking tips

If raspberries are out of season, you can substitute strawberries (cut into small pieces), blueberries, or even blackberries.
I like to use peach soda because it's a different flavor combination, but use what ever fruit flavored soda you like to drink!
For fun presentation, serve the dessert in wine or martini glasses.
