frothily

In airy bubbles

Frothily means in a foamy or bubbly manner, like beer poured too fast or waves churning against rocks.

More often it describes something light and insubstantial in tone—writing or speech that's airy and entertaining but lacks depth: The novel frothily skips through its romantic complications without ever taking them seriously.
