Welcome to Boozinette. This is the Split Coconut.

• 2 oz. spiced rum
• 1/4 oz. Coco Lopez
• 1/4 oz. Banane du Bresil
• 1/2 oz. lime juice
• 1/2 oz. Aperol
• 1/2 oz. cinnamon syrup
• 1 tiny umbrella
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 broken cinnamon sticks
• Pour all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• Strain, contain, let cool, and refrigerate.
• Pour all liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Shake like a wet capybara for 10-12 seconds.
• Fine strain into a lowball over ice.
• Garnish with a tiny umbrella and if you can’t hear the seashore, don’t worry. The soothing sounds of Kenny G will always take you there.
