This is the most tropical cocktail you’ll have around the holidays. If you’re dreaming of sunshine during the cold winter air…this is a drink for you!
I must warn you, this drink is pretty heavy on the coconut and rum flavoring. So if you’re looking for something grittier, this might not be the move for you. Still, I love this cocktail. Not only does it have a tropical vibe, but it’s also so to look at pretty. The red pomegranate garnish contrasts so beautifully with the white creamy texture of this drink.
Serve this up for a holiday happy hour or as a night cap.
