I have this thing about coconut. I only like it in a few things; cocktails, toasted coconut cream pie, toasted coconut cake, my coconut ice cream and Pecos brittle. I only consume it as a cream, milk, toasted or fresh out of the nut. Do not leave that soggy, chewy bagged stuff anywhere near me and stop with that coconut water bilge.
This cocktail has one and two covered so color me a happy coconut camper.
