Welcome spring with a cool iced coffee, like this one made with creamy coconut milk and spiked with rum.
When all else fails, spike your coffee with rum and call it a night.
So, I feel a little bit like I’m phoning it in with this “recipe” but I hope you’ll forgive me. I’ve had a week of coffee-related recipe flops: from soupy custard to spongy cookies to an egg cream that looked like mud (and didn’t taste much better).
After all of that I decided that 1) I was tired of wasting good coffee and 2) I could really use a drink of something a little stiffer.
It turns out that spiced rum + coconut coffee + coconut milk was a very, very good idea. These drinks are creamy and coconutty and remind me of the beach. I’m a little obsessed.
Rum-Spiked Coconut Coffee
If you're impatient like me, cool your coffee down quickly by stirring in an ice cube or two.

This spiked coffee looks like the perfect way to welcome spring 🙂 Hmm, I think my favorite thing about spring, besides everything blooming, would be being able to run with my kids without freezing my butt off lol.
I love these soft mornings which are warm but barely drizzling, when the world is a muted grey from which pops the most luscious and vivid shades of green!
birdsong!
I love planning and planting my gardens. Putting those first seeds in the ground and seeing their little leaves pop out of the ground. Can’t wait for the snow to be gone.
My favorite things about spring is the sunshine, flowers and the warm weather!
My favorite thing about spring is watching my kids play outside and enjoying the sunshine. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

Haha…I totally hear ya on recipe flops. Nothing is worse than a recipe fail in the kitchen. But these spiked coffees look amazing…I need to try one soon!
i love the temperature–down here, it’s not too hot but plenty warm, perfect for picnics!
my favorite thing about spring is seeing the tulips in Albany, and going for long bike rides!
Oh those weeks when no matter what it is recipe fail after recipe fail. That is the most frustrating experience. That’s what I brace myself for any time I take on a new baking recipe. Now this drink? That was a smart move. Yummm!
