So here goes: Fill a coconut-shaped mug with ice (half full if crushed).Fill half with milk, half with coconut rum (your favorite brand). Spray in some whipped cream (in the can) and stir. Then spray a good ammount of whipped cream to cover it like a pie (circular motion). Top it with toasted coconut and a cherry and enjoy! Hmmmm...no, I think you've got a bona-fide original there. I doubt anybody would be impolite in this forum even if it was an existing drink. May I be so bold as to offer some suggestions for your next foray into the creamy dessert side of mixology? I mean only to riff off of what you have already created, so please indulge me if you will. Consider me inspired by your recipe. Try this: Drop the milk and the stirred in whipped cream. These are a bit rendundant in that the whipped cream and milk can be replaced with a single pour of heavy cream or even half and half for a silkier more dense drink. If you play with the ratio a bit and use a shaker to froth the drink a bit and water it down, you should get a similar result with less hassle. Also, the coconut rum is tasty stuff, but lacks the punch some of your more tipsy guests might prefer. At 70 proof, 2 ounces of Stoli Vanil along with the coconut rum would add a nice kick to your "pie" and the vanilla flavor would be in keeping with the vanilla pudding that is often the base of a coconut cream pie. Anyway, this all sounds like fun. I rarely use whipped cream anymore since nobody asks for irish coffee these days. I'll have to buy a can and spray on some coconut peaks. Cheers!
