Cocktail
Graham rim & garnish
Method
Graham rim & glass prep
Prepare rim
On a small plate, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar and mix. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a coupe or martini glass to moisten. Dip the moistened rim into the graham-sugar mixture, twisting to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail mixing
Add vanilla vodka (2 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz), coconut cream (1 oz), and simple syrup (1/2 oz) to a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and the mixture is well emulsified (this chills and slightly thickens the coconut cream).
Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared graham-rimmed coupe or martini glass to remove any ice shards and get a smooth texture.
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim or floated on the drink. Serve immediately.
