Thought I could scoop out the meat and blend with the juice and some Cruzan rum. What else would be good in the mix (other than pineapple or mint)?

Yummy! Tue Jul 25 17:40:00 -0700 2006 1765962 10196 peppermint pate 1 1766321 Bushwackers...coconut, creme de cacao, rum, kahlua, a little milk or cream, and ice in a blender. Very sweet & dessertlike, but slips down dangerously easy. Tue Jul 25 18:10:32 -0700 2006 1765962 12023 Hungry Celeste 1 1767745 We've been drinking coconut rum with plain (mt. gay) rum, lime juice, and simple syrup shaken and served like a martini. Seems like it would be fabulous with fresh coconut.

Wed Aug 02 03:21:36 -0700 2006 1765962 20700 Schveinhund 1 1803926 Here is THE best coconut cocktail I've come across in a long time! It's called the Five C's (Chef Carter’s Coconut Cake Cocktail) and originated at the Peninsula Grill, Charleston, S.C. http://www.peninsulagrill.com/coconut.cfm Adapted from a recipe by Robert Carter and Dennis Perry, Peninsula Grill, Charleston, S.C. 1 cup dry Marsala 1 ounce white-chocolate liqueur 1 ounce coconut rum 1/2 ounce hazelnut liqueur 1/2 ounce vanilla-flavored vodka Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full of ice and add all of the ingredients. Shake for approximately 15 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. While I'm not a huge coconut fan, I have been to the Peninsula Grill and loved the coconut cake on which this drink is based. Enjoy!
