Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. coconut rum
- 1 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
- 3/4 oz. key lime juice
- 1/2 ounce pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp. cream of coconut
- 2 tbsp. crushed graham cracker crumbs
- Whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, limes for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Dip the rim of a glass in lime juice. Press the glass into a saucer of graham cracker crumbs to coat as you would with margarita salt. Except this makes a delicious crust for your key lime pie drink.
- In a shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, rum, lime juice, and cream of coconut.
- Shake to blend and chill; strain into the rimmed glasses. Or combine in a blender for a frozen version. You can’t go wrong either way!
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes if you wish and garnish with lime wedges or twists.
