Run a thin layer of cream of coconut around the rim of your glass. Press into the toasted coconut and rotate slowly to coat. Chill the glass in the freezer.
Push the passionfruit pulp through a fine mesh sieve to strain out the seeds.
Add the rum, passionfruit, cream of coconut, lime juice, and a generous handful of ice to a cocktail shaker.
Shake hard for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into the prepared glass,1 over ice in a rocks glass or up in a large coupe.
Optional: scoop a small spoonful of fresh passionfruit pulp into the drink.
Garnish with a halved passionfruit and a lime slice on the rim.
Notes
Cream of Coconut: This is a very sweet coconut mixture. I use homemade cream of coconut but store-bought works well too. Full recipe at cream of coconut.Use cream of coconut rather than lime juice to coat the rim, it's stickier and holds the toasted coconut much better.Strain the passionfruit pulp through a fine mesh sieve before using to remove the seeds.Adding a small spoonful of fresh passionfruit pulp after straining adds extra flavor and looks really beautiful.Fresh or frozen passionfruit pulp both work well.
