- black food coloring a few drops, optional for swirl effect
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice.
- Add white rum, coconut cream, vanilla liqueur, half-and-half, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice.
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker is very cold.
- Optional: Rim a chilled martini or coupe glass with sugar or coconut flakes.
- Strain into the glass.
- Optional: Add a few drops of black food coloring on top and gently swirl for a ghostly effect. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
Notes
Shake well so the coconut cream fully emulsifies. If it separates while sitting, give the cocktail a quick stir. Crushed ice will lighten the texture but melts faster. For a non-alcoholic version, swap rum and liqueur for coconut water and vanilla syrup.
