Coco Loco Cocktail

Coco loco is the cocktail of Colombia's Caribbean coast: white rum and vodka blended with coconut cream, coconut water, lime and ice, and served in a hollowed green coconut. The coconut cream hides the alcohol almost entirely, which is how it got its name. Fifteen minutes. Serves four.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ¼ cup white rum, or your preference
  • ¼ cup vodka or tequila yes, on top of the rum: this is a strong drink
  • 2 cups coconut cream unsweetened coconut cream, or cream of coconut for a much sweeter drink
  • 1 cup coconut water straight from the coconut if you are serving it in one
  • Juice of 4 medium limes limes, not lemons
  • 4 lime slices, for serving

Instructions

  • Put the ice, both spirits, the lime juice, the coconut cream and the coconut water into the blender.
  • Blend for a few seconds, just until smooth and frothy. Over-blending melts the ice and thins the drink.
  • Serve in a fresh coconut if you have one, or in a glass, with a couple of ice cubes and a slice of lime.
