Notes

*Coconut Syrup Recipe:
Ingredients:
Instructions: Stir all ingredients until the sugar has dissolved. I use 1 tbsp of the Flavorganics brand, but if you use another brand, you may need more. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Add one ounce of vodka to help the syrup last longer.
 
Recipe Variation #2 - Frozen Coconut Daiquiri
This blended daiquiri is smooth, creamy, and not too sweet! Make your own cream of coconut by combining 1 can of coconut cream with 1 3/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. 
Ingredients:
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 oz cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez or Goya, or homemade)
Instructions:
  1. Combine all ingredients with 3/4 cup cup ice (preferably crushed) in a blender.
  2. Blend on high until smooth.
  3. Pour into a large coupe or cocktail glass and garnish with a lime twist (or an edible flower, if desired).
 
Recipe Variation #3 - Caribbean Spiced Coconut Daiquiri
If you have a coconut liqueur or coconut rum liqueur such as Malibu, and a bottle of Velvet Falernum, you can try this Caribbean-spiced variation:
Ingredients:
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3/4 oz coconut liqueur / coconut rum liqueur (like Malibu Rum)
  • 1/4 oz Velvet Falernum
Instructions:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill 3/4 with ice.
  2. Shake until chilled and strain into a coupe glass.
  3. Garnish with a lime wheel or an edible flower, if desired.
