  • Highball or Hurricane Glass

Method
 

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

  3. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside is frosty.

Notes

Ensure you use 'Cream of Coconut' (sweetened) and not 'Coconut Milk'. The nutmeg is essential for the authentic aroma.
