Expert Tips

The first step of this recipe creates a simple syrup. If you make a lot of sweet mixed drinks, double or quadruple the amount of simple syrup you make and reserve the remaining mixture for later cocktails.
To keep drinks colder for longer, store your empty glasses in the freezer.
Blend the shredded coconut in your food processor if desired. This will give you finer flakes to work with as you’re rimming your glasses.
