One of the rare, yet tasty, tiki cocktails with gin base. It will definitely give you tropical vibes and let you escape onto a sandy beach into a shade of a palm tree.
I have taken a few liberties with this one and slightly increased the amount of booze. Since it contains a lot of coconut water it tasted a bit diluted in the beginning, so extra gin and chartreuse helped a lot. But that is just my taste. You can find original specifications in the source material.
