The History of the Coconut Milk Punch

Another signature serve by Jay Khan from COA in Hong Kong, which was voted #8 in The Worlds 50 Best Bars and #3 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2020!

 

Jay is a passionate bar owner and bartender who travels the world for his inspirations to keep at the top of the game! He is widely known as an agave spirit enthusiast.

 

The Coconut Milk Punch evolved from a long drink they used to make at the bar that contained fino sherry and coconut cream. One night they premixed the coconut cream with the fino sherry, the coconut cream curdled instantly. After straining it, the sherry had a beautiful coconut finish. They took this idea and instead clarified the entire batch of cocktail.
