1 1/2 oz. vanilla cinnamon syrup
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice

Add all the ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake to chill and strain into the cup. Top with coconut foam.
Vanilla Cinnamon SyrupCombine 1 1/2 cups of white granulated sugar, 1 cup of hot/nearly boiling water, 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 1/2 oz. bourbon vanilla extract into a pot and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool syrup in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then strain into a bottle for use. Keeps refrigerated for up to 1 month.
Coconut FoamMix 5 oz. of demerara sugar, 6 oz. of coconut milk, 1/3 tsp. of salt, and 3 oz. of water together and pour into a whipped cream dispenser.
