Notes

The drink tastes best with fresh-squeezed lime juice. Store-bought juice can make the cocktail too sour or bitter.
Keep cream of coconut refrigerated after opening. It stays fresh for up to 2 weeks.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace coconut rum with coconut water and add a splash of coconut extract.
The drink can be made in larger batches for parties. Mix everything except club soda ahead of time and add it just before serving.
