Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Measure and pour 2 oz Don Q rum, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz coconut cream, and 0.5 oz agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Dry shake

    If you prefer a slightly frothy texture, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds without ice to emulsify the coconut cream with the lime and agave.

  3. 3

    Shake with ice

    Add ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker, re-seal, and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold.

Build & Finish

  1. 4

    Prepare glass

    If using crushed ice, fill a double rocks glass or tiki-style glass about three-quarters full with crushed ice. Alternatively, use fresh ice cubes in a chilled coupe or rocks glass.

  2. 5

    Strain

    Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over crushed ice (or into the chilled glass if using cubes) to remove any ice shards and coconut bits for a smooth sip.

  3. 6

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and sprinkle a teaspoon of toasted coconut flakes on top if desired. Serve immediately with a short straw or cocktail pick.
