Which step in the iced drinks sequence includes toppings?

• A. Pull shots
• B. Add syrup
• C. Pour milk to last line
• D. Add whip/ toppings

Answer: (D)

Toppings are the finishing touch in iced drinks, added after the base is built. This keeps the whipped cream or other toppings as a distinct top layer rather than mixing into the drink. By applying whip or toppings last, you preserve their texture and appearance, and you give the drink its visible, appetizing finish. The earlier steps—pulling shots, adding syrup, pouring milk to the correct line—are all about building the flavor and balance, and even the ice goes in before the final presentation. So the step that specifically includes whip or toppings is the final step that completes the drink.
