Rum-Spiked Coconut Iced Coffee

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.
