My husband and I followed the recipe exactly, and it was just spectacular. I wouldn't change a thing! We used Cruzan Coconut Rum.

I made this recipe on July 4. I thought it was OK, my family did not like. I might try again with less rum.

This recipe is sooooo good! I used Bacardi coconut rum and I strained the mixture because the coconut tend to separate. This was so yummy and smooth. I highly highly recommend even to those that normally don't drink tropical drinks.
