This cocktail works as an afternoon pick-me-up or an after-dinner drink. Shake the can of coconut milk before using.

Cook’s note:

For the rich demerara syrup, combine 1 cup demerara sugar with ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let boil. Let syrup cool and store in a clean resealable container in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
