The Easiest Coconut Rum Recipe You Can Make At Home
While coconut water and coconut milk are great all year round, what truly elevates them in our drinks is the addition of rum to take it to a whole new level. It’s also a great way to add a bit of Tiki in your home bar. We say home bar because we’re absolutely certain that you can make coconut liqueur at home that’s almost as good as Malibu.
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup water
5 tablespoons dark rum
Directions:
In a large saucepan over medium heat combine all ingredients except for the rum. Stir well until mixture comes together in one mass. Bring it up to boil then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour stirring occasionally. Once mixture has thickened slightly add rum and stir again. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. Store leftover rum covered in refrigerator.
And that’s all there is to making delicious coconut rum at home. You can have this as is or take your home bartending to the next level by trying out some Tiki cocktails. Alternately, use this liqueur to add a hint of coconut to your cocktails. You could also use it as a sugar substitute since the coconut rum already contains adequate sweetness.
