Method
 

  1. Prepare the rim: On a small plate, mix together the shredded coconut, coarse sea salt, and fresh lime zest.

  6. Strain the chilled cocktail mixture over the fresh ice in your prepared glass.
  7. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Ensure you are using sweetened cream of coconut, not standard unsweetened coconut milk, to get the right flavor and texture balance.
