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.

You had me at boozy iced coffee. 🙂
But just think, if you hadn’t gone through all that recipe strife, you wouldn’t have wanted a drink, and then you might not have developed this deliciousness! So it all worked out. 😛
my favorite thing about spring is that Jumpin’ Jacks opens 🙂 Soft Serve and Dole Whip in my life on the regular!!!!
I’m so ready for spring. Lately the weather is so unpredictable, but I do like watching the flowers start to shoot up from the ground and make their appearance!
Aww, I’ve had a series of recipe failures as of late too. This looks like an excellent pick-me-up. 🙂
I love watching the world turning green – watching the jonquils emerging from the soil, the grass peeping up through the dark, muddy soil and the tulips coming up.
I love that the day are longer and I can finally wear something other than boots haha
the best thing about spring is the nice weather! and being able to hang my clothes out on the line! Fresh smelling clothe, now that is heavenly!!
My favorite thing about spring is digging in the dirt and getting my garden ready for a summer harvest.
my favorite thing about spring is all the green that sprouts up!
