Made this for a few friends now, and while it definitely has more funk than my usual drinks, everyone was quite impressed. Going to try this with a sesame oil washed whisky next; curious how that pairs with the coconut.

One of my favourites! I've recently starting experimenting with this one, replacing the Cointreau with Grand Marnier, the syrup with orgeat and dusting the froth with some nutmeg. I really like where it’s heading, although I haven’t yet nailed the balance, as the orgeat quickly becomes too prevalent, but is also what makes this riff worthwhile. Would love your expert take on this if you ever get around to it Simon :-)
Simon, splitting the syrup 50/50 might do just the trick for me. Hadn’t even thought of that. Thanks!
