When I was introduced to the Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum, I fell in love with its flavor right out of the bottle neat. I've been trying to come up with something to put it with that would be a cocktail that would showcase the rum and not bury it in other flavors. I tried several mixes with fruit juices and other things, but they were just lacking something.
I took to the idea of a smoothie style of cocktail and I researched what went well with coconut and found several things that I could work with and came up with this idea. I hope you enjoy it.
