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.

I like the weather and gardening fun.
I love all the flowers, sunshine and cooking on the grill.
YUM! I’m drooling. Perfect coffee to remind me of summertime and the tropics.
This looks absolutely delicious:)
love the fresh greenery and flowers
My favorite thing about spring is not having to get so bundled up each time I go out.
Spring in Colorado is absolutely gorgeous! I love to see the flowers bloom and I always look forward to planting my own 🙂
Well you did a great job of turning a few recipe fails into something DELICIOUS. I’m saving this for the summer when I can put coffee and rum back on my “everyday drinks” list. 😉
My favorite thing about Spring is the warmer weather and longer days.
I love the look,feel and scent of new spring grass!
