Fresh Coconut cocktail suggestions help?

Pages: 1 3 replies

It's the wife's birthday on Saturday, were surrounded by the freshest cocktail ingredients but I don't know what to make.

There is a lovely lady up the road that sells fresh green coconuts and these would save on washing mugs so I fancy using them. Also another lady sells crushed sugar cane juice, a good simple syrup replacement. I also can get lots of ice and all the fresh tropical fruit you can imagine. The local cheap spirit is "Sangsom Rum" a sort of goldenish rum, mixes well, try to avoid mixing it with Red Bull if you want to retain your dignity.

I also have a bottle of orgeat, any suggestion?

Have you tried the Grogalizer? You enter the ingredients you have available and it coordinates recipes from Beachbum Berry.

If you can track down some light rum (I assume the coconut milk and fresh lime and pineapple juice won't be a problem), I heartily recommend the Bum's Luau Coconut. The recipe is on page 182 of Remixed, but it's also available online here:

Thanks for the tips, I ended up making the "Luau Coconut" and it went down a treat.

I was slightly worried about making it as it involved opening coconuts with a machete and my current score on that game was 4-0 to the coconuts. Having never managed to open a coconut without shedding my own blood. But by the end of the night I was 28-4, being now able to deftly chop open a coconut in four blows.
