16 Coconut co*cktail Recipes (2024)

When the temperatures start to rise, people start looking for fruity tropical co*cktails, and what says summer more than a delicious coconut co*cktail?

In the Hawaiian language, coconuts are called nui. But did you know that coconut trees aren’t native to Hawaii? Nevertheless, they’ve been there for a long time. They first arrived in Hawaii several hundred years ago via early Polynesian travelers during prehistoric times, and they’ve been growing there ever since.

Coconut co*cktails are refreshing and fun, and it’s so much fun to garnish them with a cute little co*cktail umbrella and a pineapple wedge.

As the days get warmer and the sun shines brighter, your taste buds yearn for a refreshing and flavorful escape. Enter the delightful world of coconut co*cktails – not only do they capture the essence of tropical paradise, but they also provide a unique and satisfying flavor that’s hard to resist.

You might be familiar with the ever-popular Piña Colada, but the world of coconut co*cktails extends far beyond this classic. From creamy concoctions to light, fizzy mixes, there’s a coconut co*cktail out there for every preference. Expand your horizons and allow your palate to indulge in various combinations, from zesty and fruity to rich and velvety.

As you explore different coconut-infused libations, you’ll find that there’s more to them than their alluring taste. Coconut milk and coconut water both offer their own benefits, adding not only flavor but also valuable nutrients and hydration. So raise your glass to these tropical treasures and discover your new favorite coconut co*cktail.

You can make coconut mixed drinks with coconut alcohol such as coconut rum, coconut vodka, and other coconut liquor.

However, you can also make a coconut drink with coconut cream for drinks (cream of coconut).

On this list, we’ve got co*cktails with everything from rum to tequila to vodka. We even have a coconut mixed drink made with scotch and a coconut martini!

16. Scotch and Coconut co*cktail

We promised you a Scotch coconut drink and we have delivered it!

Coconut Cream for Coconut co*cktails and Coconut Mixed Drinks

What do you use in terms of coconut cream for co*cktails? We recommend cream of coconut, a special ingredient. One popular brand is Coco Real Cream of Coconut, and another popular brand is Coco Lopez. You can find both of these online if you can’t find them at your local liquor store or grocery store. Note that cream of coconut is not quite the same as the ingredient in coconut milk drink recipes.

• For one thing, coconut cream does not have sugar and is unsweetened. This ingredient isn’t the one we recommend. It has a strong coconut flavor and it’s very thick. You can find it at stores in cans near coconut milk.
• The ingredient you need for coconut co*cktails is cream of coconut, which is a sweetened syrup (different from simple syrup) that’s made for use in co*cktails.
