Muddle about 10 mint leaves in a tall glass with a splash of simple syrup. You can also use a cannon, grinder, or wooden spoon to crush the mint leaves and release their flavor. You will need about 0.5 oz of simple syrup per drink.

Add ice, vodka, lime juice, and coconut water to the glass. The ratio of vodka to lime juice to coconut water is usually 2:1:3, but you can adjust it according to your taste. For example, if you like your drink more sour, use more lime juice and less coconut water. You will need about 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of lime juice, and 3 oz of coconut water per drink.

Stir well until the ingredients are well combined.

Add coconut cream and stir gently. Alternatively, you can shake the coconut cream in a cocktail shaker before adding it to the glass. Use about 1 oz of coconut cream per drink.
