At heart, this is a Grasshopper that swaps out traditional cream for coconut milk, lauded by many as a vitamin-rich, lactose-free “superfood.” And in lieu of artificial crème de menthe, pandan leaf, often used in Southeast Asian cooking, provides bright color and a hint of herbaceous sweetness. (Note: Pandan leaf extract can be purchased at most Asian markets or online here.)
