Notes
Coconut cream: Don’t confuse coconut cream for cream of coconut because they aren’t the same thing. Cream of coconut is basically a sweet coconut syrup and isn’t the same as coconut cream or coconut milk. You should be able to find it with the cocktail mixers at the store else you can order cream of coconut online.
Shake it up: When the cocktail shaker feels cold in your hand, that means the drink is mixed and chilled enough.
Adding the coconut truffle: Use a sharp knife to make a little slit in it, then you can just slide the truffle on to the rim.
