Instructions

  1. Step 1: Gently bruise 2 fresh kaffir lime leaves with the back of a spoon to release their aroma and place them in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 oz white rum, 3 oz coconut milk, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to the shaker.
  3. Step 3: Fill the shaker with 1 cup ice cubes, then cover and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the mixture is cold and slightly frothy.
  4. Step 4: Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring no kaffir lime leaves pass through.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 1 lime wheel on the rim and serve immediately for a creamy, aromatic tropical imbibe.
