July 4, 20110 — Malibu Coconut Rum
It seems oddly fitting that I received this birthday message from a childhood friend:
Remember with age comes the financial ability to avoid drinking things like Parrot Bay and other cheap brews. The extra notch on the old age belt is worth it…
You see, Liz (the friend I received the message from) once spent an evening during college staying up all night taking down bottles of Parrot Bay Coconut Rum. To this day, I still can’t smell it without feeling just a smidge sick. Which is why I switched over to Malibu Coconut Rum. It’s a lot like Parrot Bay. A lot.
This is the definition of sorority girl booze — it’s sweet. Almost syrupy. It can be drank straight out of the bottle. And it will mess you up fast.
Nose:
Like smelling coconut extract.
Neat:
Like drinking coconut extract with some booze in it.
On the Rocks:
Like drinking cold coconut.. you know what? You get the idea.
I do, however, know that this makes some great hot weather cocktails.
So buckle up chitlens. With 100+ degree temps, you’ll need to cool down.
Cheers!
