Lime in the Coconut

I'm back from the Bay Islands, and had an absolutely amazing time - many fantastic adventures... Rum was the drink of choice, so I enjoyed lots of delicious fruity cocktails made with Flor De Caña. Danny at West Peak Inn scored some fresh coconuts for us - a total treat. This was my favourite way to enjoy one of these:

• have someone experienced with machetes and coconuts hack one of these open for you. A hole about the size of a quarter in one end is all you need.
• drink about 1/3 of the milk with a straw
• pour in 1-2 shots of white rum
• fill the rest with fresh sweetened lime juice (or the juice of a lime and simple syrup or other sweetener)
• enjoy :-)
