The Coconut Milk-Aholic

I had a fun time building this one up over the weekend.  A nice springtime drink with some elements of the beach, and a unique coconut flavor.  Perfect for the upcoming summer season!

The Coconut Milk-Aholic:

2 parts Smirnoff Coconut Vodka
1 part Smirnoff Whipped Vodka
1 part Cointreau 
Fill with LaCroix Sparkling water (coconut flavored)
Float whipping cream or half-and-half 

First, you'll need the right mixing tools:
Picture
Use the jigger to measure out the 'parts'.  I used the larger size (1.5oz) for two parts, and the smaller size (.75oz) for one part. 
First fill the mixing tin with ice, then combine the three spirits in the mixing tin.

Picture
Make sure to keep the parts measured out evenly.  One of the important parts of mixology is being able to re-create the same drink.

Then shake the ingredients.  I suggest shaking until the tin is frosted over on the outside.  Hold the shaker firmly to make sure that there is no spillage.

Picture
Fill the glass with ice, then add the soda - filling the remainder of the glass.  Make sure to leave enough room to add the cream at the top.

To float the cream, use a bar-spoon - or a regular spoon or flat surface to slowly add the cream so that it floats on top of the mixture.  It may take some practice to get this right.

When you get it right, the cream will float on top of the drink, even though it should sink to the bottom because it is heavier than the rest of the liquid.

The consumer should be presented the Coconut Milk-Aholic with the cream still on top, and should mix it in prior to imbibing.  The amount of cream to use for the float can be changed according to you or your guest's tastes.  I tried this twice, and added more cream the second time.  Delicious!


Thanks for reading, let me know how yours turns out!
