1/2cupCoconut milkplus 2 tbsp for simple syrup

3Cardamom seeds
Orange rind for garnish
1/2cupIce
Instructions
Simple Syrup, in a small hot pan, lightly toast the seeds, crushing them as they warm. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar across the seeds, stir, and watch closely so as not to burn. Pour 2 tablespoons of coconut milk into the pan and remove quickly from heat. Stir, strain and chill.
Orange Rind Garnish, peel long strips of an orange rind: 4 inches long x 1/4 inch wide. In a medium warm pan, add remaining sugar to melt, be careful not to burn. Add the strips and shake the pan giving the rind a chance to release a tiny bit of its oil, causing the sugar to stick to it. Cool, then weave a cocktail garnish stick, small kabob stick or appetizer stick in and out of the rind, giving it a snake-like look. Set aside. These can be made in advance and kept in the fridge.
Place ice in a shaker cup. Add vodka, Curacao, spicy simple syrup, and coconut milk. Give a good shake, pour and place a prepared orange rind garnish across the top.
