  • Made it with 2.25 oz coconut cream [NOTE: I used Coco Lopez, the recipe's since been updated] and that was plenty sweet and creamy. Any more would have been cloying and hidden the other flavors.

Pangolindo commented on 7/07/2020:

You need to use an unsweetened coconut cream/milk. Was it the case?

In france is what we we have at the supermarket. Meant to cook...Not for pastry.

I've just edited the recipe.

coquina commented on 4/17/2021:

Ah, no, where I am in the US only the extremely sweet Coco Lopez-style coconut cream is readily available. Maybe at a South Asian grocery unsweetened could be found. The recipe makes a lot more sense to me now that I know it's intended to be unsweetened coconut cream! I'll remove my rating since I didn't make the drink as it is now written.

Pangolindo commented on 4/18/2021:

It was not an issue. Or swap for dry apricot brandy or apricot fire water. Never tried.

  • Don’t serve without rosemary sprig. Perhaps up the bourbon a tad.

  • Made with homemade toasted almond orgeat (SteveTheBartender recipe). Slightly too sweet - consider 1/2oz orgeat. Well rounded and packed with strong but blended flavours.
