Article: Get pre-purchased crushed ice or crush ice yourself by grinding up ice cubes in a blender. As the ice melts, it will cut through the creaminess of the drink which makes it taste better. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place the cubes in a tall glass instead. Carefully measure out the Amarula and coconut water in a shot glass or jigger so that you use the proper amounts. If you'd rather have a citrus cocktail, replace the coconut water with a shot of Triple Sec instead. You can also replace the coconut water with a shot of gin if you'd rather make a martini. If you want an even stronger cocktail, put 2 shots of Amarula in the drink. Vigorously shake the shaker to mix everything together and partially melt some of the crushed ice. This infuses the Amarula with the crushed ice. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, place the top of another glass into the glass with the Amarula so that it forms a seal. Then, hold both glasses together and shake the beverage to mix it. You don't have to strain the drink because it tastes great on ice. If you used Triple Sec instead of coconut water, garnish the drink with an orange peel to finish it off.

Shrink-free spackling won't shrink when it dries in the holes on the trim. Avoid spackling that shrinks or you could end up with dips in the holes you fill in. You can find shrink-free spackling online or at your local hardware store. You can use painter's caulk or water-based wood filler as alternatives. You don't need a lot. You just want enough on the knife to fill in a nail hole. Scoop out the spackle with the end of the knife so it's easier to press into a hole. Start with the edge of the knife on one side of the hole at a 45-degree angle. Scrape the knife across the surface of the hole to the other side. Press firmly down on the knife so the spackling completely fills in the nail hole. Scrape across the surface of the hole two or three times to make sure the spackling is flat. To smooth out the spackling and/or fill the holes, you can also use your finger. Do this immediately after you spackle all the holes in the trim so the spackling doesn't have time to dry. Check back on the spackling after a few hours to see if it's dry. If it's not, let it continue drying. If you notice a dip in the spackling inside the nail hole, apply another coat and wait 2-3 more hours for the new coat of spackling to dry. Lightly brush the sandpaper across the surface of the trim where the hole is until the spackling is flush with the trim.
