Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 3 oz. white chocolate liqueur
- 2 oz. Captain Morgan spiced rum
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or creamy coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
For the Rim
- 1 lemon wedge (for wetting the rim)
- 1/4 cup white sanding sugar
- 1/4 cup finely shredded coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Rim Mixture: In a flat shallow bowl, thoroughly mix the finely shredded coconut flakes and white sanding sugar to create the coating for the glass rim.
- Coat the Glass Rim: Take the lemon wedge and run it evenly around the rim of your martini glass to moisten it. Immediately dip the rim into the coconut and sugar mixture, ensuring a full, even coating. Set aside the rimmed glass.
- Combine Ingredients and Shake: In a cocktail shaker, pour in the white chocolate liqueur, Captain Morgan spiced rum, and heavy cream (or creamy coconut milk). Add the ice cubes to fill the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and smooth.
- Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared rimmed martini glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors and festive presentation. This recipe serves one, but can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with creamy coconut milk.
- Ensure the coconut flakes are finely shredded for better adhesion on the glass rim.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon for the best rim adhesion and flavor.
- Shake the cocktail well to properly blend and chill the ingredients.
- This cocktail is best served immediately after preparation to retain its creamy texture and chilled temperature.
