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 love all the blooming trees and flowers in Spring.
I just love it when the trees get their new leaves and of course, the warmth.
The sun!!!
My fave thing about spring is the smell. It’s so fresh and clean and so welcoming after a freezing winter.
My favorite thing about spring is the flowers, birds, warmth, daylight longer! Many things, it just makes you feel so much better!!
That coffee looks GOOD! I’m looking forward to more hours of daylight!
Sounds yummy, will have to give this a try.
That looks fantastic! I have the Green Mountain pumpkin spice k-cups right now, but I think coconut would be more appropriate for spring.
Longer days and flowers and trees in bloom.
My favorite thing about spring is the veggies!
