Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cream of coconut, chilled
  • 2 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 2 oz vodka or coconut rum
  • 1 oz heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the cream of coconut, coconut milk, and lime juice in a small bowl until velvety and smooth. Ensure no lumps remain for a clean look.
  2. Slowly pour the base mixture into the bottom of two chilled glasses, filling them about one third of the way.
  3. In a separate container, stir together the vodka or coconut rum with the heavy cream and vanilla extract until cold and blended.
  4. Place the back of a bar spoon against the inside wall of the glass, just above the coconut base.
  5. Slowly drizzle the spirit mixture over the spoon, allowing the liquid to glide gently onto the surface to create a distinct, creamy white layer.
  6. Stop pouring once the glass is nearly full, leaving about a half inch of space at the top.
  7. Let the drink sit for 1 minute until the line between layers is sharp and still.
  8. Garnish with a lime wheel or a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
