Time 4m

Yield 1 cocktail, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 ounce dark rum
3/4 ounce coconut rum
1/2 ounce cream of coconut
1/2 ounce papaya nectar (optional)
1/2 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce pineapple juice
1/4 ounce grenadine
1/2 banana (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients with 1/2 cup ice. Add more ice as you wish.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe coconuts: Look for coconuts with a light brown husk and plenty of coconut water inside. Avoid coconuts with a green husk, as they are not ripe yet.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your Coco Loco will taste. Use fresh coconut water, lime juice, and pineapple juice for the best flavor.
  • Don't overproof the yeast: The yeast should be proofed for just a few minutes, until it is foamy and active. Overproofing the yeast can cause the Coco Loco to have a sour taste.
  • Chill the Coco Loco before serving: Chilling the Coco Loco before serving will help to enhance the flavors and make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Coco Loco is a delicious and refreshing Dominican drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a tropical drink to enjoy on a hot summer day or a festive libation to serve at a party, Coco Loco is sure to please.
