A Beachbum original: This is a very classic coconut-flavored beverage that tastes delightful and is fun to share with others. The ingredient list is deceptively simple, leading me to believe that the drink would be too one-dimensional in the way the Banana Daiquiri turned out to be. But in truth, the final result is adequately complex to make the drink just interesting enough to satisfy even a jaded (which I'm not) tiki-drinker. I decided to use a combination of Jamaican rums to add an additional layer of flavor: I went with Myers for its rich, dark molasses flavor, and I chose the Appleton Extra for its refined and distinctly Jamaican funk-character. I shared the drink with my wife, who truly enjoyed it. Appropriately, we drank it while snuggled under covers during the recent snowstorm here in NY, and watched Dr. No, the James Bond movie that primarily takes place in Jamaica. A perfect winter escape. Ingredients I used: Lopez Coconut Cream My personal rating: *** 1/2 (3.5) out of ***** (5) New Addition * |
