What does parfait style mean in drink preparation?

Parfait style in drink preparation specifically refers to the method of layering soft top or whip cream at various points within the drink—at the bottom, middle, and top. This technique enhances the visual appeal and flavor experience, allowing customers to enjoy different textures and flavors from the layers as they sip. The incorporation of soft top or whip cream at multiple levels creates a more dynamic and enjoyable drinking experience, making the parfait style a distinct approach in crafting drinks.

The other options do not capture the essence of parfait style. Mixing ingredients together or simply adding toppings does not involve the thoughtful layering that defines parfaits, while using a parfait glass is unrelated to the preparation technique itself.
