ABV 02: Coconut Rum Cocktail Test -

Coconut rum cocktail competition, which tastes better?

ABV 02: Coconut Rum Cocktail Test

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.

You can print the recipe on MixDrinkipedia.com or watch our Common Man Cocktails video on the recipe as well.

    That’s weird, cause there is a very strong sense of coconut in Malibu, at least for me :-)

    Hey Derrick/Jennifer,

    I haven’t commented since that POM contest quite a while back – but don’t be fooled, I have been watching…Just wanted to comment on your new show…I really enjoyed it, thought it was very informing…only thing is, where I am in Canada – I can’t get Cruzan or Don Q…the only Coconut Rums I can get are Malibu, Parrot Bay, and Bacardi..so I was slightly disappointed that you didn’t also include the Bacardi Coconut rum in your video…but other than that, I thought it was great…Keep up the great work!!!

    We can’t do them all at once, but we’ll get them all done. We’ll revisit coconut rums as we get more in, this isn’t the end all be all for coconut. We’ve got many shows to do, many spirits to try and years to explore the full library of options!

    Great stuff. Too bad the only one I can get over here is the Malibu :|
