Coconut Rum: Spring and Summer Fresh Drinks
Why I Love This Recipe
Coconut rum drinks are delicious any time of the year. During cooler months, spicy, warm and buttery cocktails hit the spot, but for spring and summer we usually want something a bit more refreshing. Here are four of our favorite coconut rum concoctions that will be a hit at all of your spring and summer get-togethers. To accommodate children and those who don’t drink alcohol, substitute coconut water for the rum. The drinks will still taste delicious and feel festive even as mocktails.

Rim the edge of a hurricane glass with lime wedge and dip into organic coconut sugar. Fill glass with ice, pour in rum and liqueur and stir. Top off with lime soda. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge.

Place all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a lowball glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with orange wedge and a sprinkle of coconut on the top.
