Thai Coco Cocktail
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces coconut rum
1 1/2 ounces Fresh Lemongrass Syrup, recipe follows
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 juicy lime)
Very thin slice lime or spear of a fresh lemongrass frond, for garnish

Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher with ice. Add
the rum, lemongrass syrup, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously, or stir,
until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker
mists up the drink is ready.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with
