Garnish:

Mint sprigs bouquet & serve with a straw

How to make:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and strain into glass filled with crushed ice. (It pays to stir first 5 ingredients in the tin before adding coconut milk and continuing to stir as you pour this last ingredient to help prevent it from curdling.)

Review:

How brilliantly and seductively creamy coconut tames absinthe and rhum agricole makes this colada served frappé dangerous.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created at Maison Premiere in Brooklyn, New York City, USA. If pre-preparation allows, in place of coconut cream and coconut milk pre-mix coconut milk & cream made with 3 parts coconut cream to 1 part coconut milk stirred in a pan over low heat. Allow to cool, pour into an airtight container and store in a refrigerator for up to one week.
