Alcohols by Volume 02: Coconut Rum Cocktail Tasting

We know which rum was our favorite from last episode, but we don’t know which one tastes the best in a cocktail. Presumably the cocktail that tasted best when tested straight should be the winner, right?

After all, the best spirits make the best ingredients for a cocktail. Of course, all of these coconut rums are good, we are just looking for the one that is the tastiest! Once again we’re bringing Parrot Bay, Cruzan, Don Q and Malibu coconut rums together in a competitive cocktail competition.

The Surf Rider Recipe:

• 1 ½ oz. Coconut Rum
• 1/3 oz. Pineapple Juice
• Splash of Cranberry juice

Mix all ingredients in an iced shaker and shake for 10-seconds, strain into an iced rocks glass and serve.
