The best cocktail. Took a lot of practice to get this one spot on, but worth the effort. The only tip missing in the recipe is to poke a hole in the middle of the meringue, after it's rested in the fridge for a few minutes, and use that hole to shortly pour the remaining cocktail in to get it to raise.

I disagree. I tried many methods, and the way described here is spot on - though I also often use heavy cream too - though I find it makes little difference. For the final pour through the meringue, you poke a hole through the middle with a straw, and slowly pour the remaining cocktail (without soda) through the hole. If you've done it right, you should be able to have a metal straw support itself in the meringue.
