• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 1
• Yields: 1 drink

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon water
• 3  tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut
• 3  ounces cranberry juice
• 1  ounce  coconut rum
• 1⁄2 ounce  grenadine (1 T.)
•  candy cane (to garnish)

Directions

1. Mix together powdered sugar and water on a small saucer until smooth. Spread coconut in a shallow layer on another saucer. Dip the rum of a martini glass in the sugar mixture until the rum is coated. Then, dip the sugared rim into the coconut. Use a spoon to pack the coconut on to the sugar coating so it stays on the rim.
2. Add the cranberry juice, coconut rum, and grenadine into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a prepared Martini glass and serve. Garnish with a candy cane.
