1
Prepare glass
Chill a Collins or highball glass by filling it with ice and a little cold water, or place it in the freezer for a few minutes. When ready to build the cocktail, discard the chilling ice/water.
2
Mix
In a cocktail shaker filled about halfway with ice, pour 2 oz light rum, 3 oz coconut water, 2 oz pineapple juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup or agave.
3
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the ingredients are well combined and slightly aerated.
4
Strain and serve
Discard the ice from the chilled glass. Fill the glass with fresh crushed ice or ice cubes (about 1 cup). Double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the glass to remove any small ice shards and pulp.
5
Finish and garnish
Grate a light dusting of fresh nutmeg over the top of the drink (about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp preferred; up to 1 tsp if you like more spice). Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve with a short straw.

Notes
Coconut water can vary in sweetness—taste before adding syrup. Use fresh lime juice for balance. For a richer coconut presence, substitute 0.5 oz cream of coconut for 0.5 oz coconut water and reduce simple syrup accordingly.
