Coconut rum and vanilla vodka are shaken hard with coconut cream until smooth, then poured over ice and lengthened with lemon-lime soda, which turns the drink a pale, misty white with a gentle fizz. It tastes a little like a sparkling piña colada without the pineapple: sweet, coconutty and very easy to drink. That makes it a good choice for Halloween parties where not everyone wants something dark and spiced. Shake well, because the coconut cream needs plenty of energy to blend in fully, and serve it straight away while the soda is lively.

How to make a Drunk Ghost

Serves 1 · Takes 5 minutes
Malibu 60 ml, Vodka de baunilha 30 ml, Refrigerante de limão e lima 120 ml, Creme de coco 60 ml
Fill a shaker with ice
Add the coconut rum, vanilla vodka and coconut cream
Shake hard until the coconut cream is fully mixed in
Strain into a tumbler filled with ice
Top with lemon-lime soda
Garnish with a marshmallow
~ Use unsweetened coconut cream rather than sweetened cream of coconut, or the drink becomes very sweet. ~

Power tips
Elevate the Drunk Ghost with these master mixologist tips

Treat coconut cream like dairy: pre-chill it and shake it longer than you think (12–15 seconds hard) with plenty of cold, solid ice. Coconut cream emulsifies best when very cold; a longer, more violent shake creates a finer emulsion so you get a silky “ghost mist” texture instead of oily separation or floating coconut fat.
Build for fizz retention: strain the shaken base into the ice-filled rocks glass first, then add the lemon-lime soda last by pouring it down a barspoon. Avoid re-stirring aggressively—just one gentle lift is enough—so you keep the carbonation and maintain a clean, creamy head rather than knocking the drink flat.
