Coco'Deez'Nuts

/

I'll be honest, I am not a huge coconut fan, but this drink is very crushable, even for people who don't prefer coconut.

Coco 'Deez' Nuts recipe:

  • 2 oz silver rum (I prefer to use Privateer Silver)

  • 1 oz homemade coconut cream (see below for recipe)

  • .5 oz Pineapple juice

  • .5 oz tiki simple syrup (Don's mix works nicely here too)*

Shake ingredients with ice. Serve in rocks glass with fresh ice. Top with a couple drops of Angostura bitters (I use an atomizer to spray the top with the bitters)

Substitutions:

Privateer Silver: Highly recommend this rum, but most silver rums can be used. Try Flor de Cana Extra Dry (Secco) 4 year. 

Coconut cream: I would just make it or something similar. It won't be the same if you only use something like Coco Lopez without any modification. Link to my recipe below.

Tiki Simple: Cinnamon simple syrup. Or buy B.G. Reynolds Don's Mix. 

*Notes: Don's Mix can be store bought or you can make your own. 

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 cups fresh grapefruit juice

  • 4-6 cinnamon sticks

Add the water, sugar and cinnamon to a pot and cook on low until the sugar dissolves. After this has cooled and the cinnamon has steeped for at least 15 minutes (taste often), add your fresh grapefruit juice. Place in airtight container in fridge for up to a week.
