Notes
Adjust sweetness with more or less simple syrup, and brighten with extra lime juice if desired. For a creamier texture, increase the coconut cream. To add a fresh herbal note, gently muddle a few basil or mint leaves in the shaker before adding ice. Chill ingredients and glassware for the crispest sip.
