Sips & Tips
Technique
The coconut rum adds a tropical layer without making it too sweet. Use crushed ice and pour everything in — the dilution is part of the drink.
Balance
The coconut should be subtle — it's an accent, not the star. The aged rum and orgeat still drive the flavor. Lime keeps it balanced.
