You're probs not sitting on a white sand beach staring off into turquoise water, drinking rum out of a fresh coconut (and if you are, I don't need to hear that.)
So I'm here to remind you that coconut rum cocktails exist, so you can enjoy the taste of ~island lyfe~ from your landlocked backyard. Yeah, these fancy fruity drinks are excellent for those of us who instantly melt and become three shades tanner after saying the magic words: "piña" and "colada."Thank you to whoever decided to mix rum and coconut together: You're the real MVP.
Your mini-vacation is waiting for you.
