Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz coconut rum
- 1 oz coconut cream (such as Coco Lopez)
- 1 oz heavy cream
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Crushed graham crackers (for rim)
- 1 tablespoon honey or corn syrup (for rimming the glass)
- Ice
- Shredded toasted coconut (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1:
Prepare your martini glass by rimming it with honey or corn syrup. Dip the rim into crushed graham crackers to create that perfect “pie crust” effect. Set aside to allow it to set.
Step 2:
In a cocktail shaker, add ice, vanilla vodka, coconut rum, coconut cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add the simple syrup.
Step 3:
Shake vigorously for about 20–30 seconds. The goal is to blend all the flavors while chilling the cocktail for a creamy, smooth finish.
Step 4:
Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass, being careful not to disrupt the graham cracker rim.
Step 5:
For added decadence, top the martini with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut.
Notes
- Ensure that the coconut cream is well-mixed before adding it to your shaker, as it can sometimes separate.
- Shaking the cocktail vigorously not only chills the drink but also creates a frothy texture that mimics the creamy consistency of coconut cream pie.
