Ingredients
-
1 Crazy Cups Island Rum Coconut coffee pod, brewed over ice and cooled (6 oz)

-
½ oz vanilla vodka
-
1 oz coconut cream (not coconut syrup)
-
Ice cubes
-
Honey (for glass rim)
-
Toasted coconut flakes (garnish—this is texture, not flavor!)

Optional: Splash of pineapple juice for a fun tropical twist 🌴
Instructions
-
Brew your coffee: Use a single Crazy Cups Island Rum Coconut pod and brew directly over ice (6 oz minimum).

Shake it up: In a cocktail shaker, combine brewed coffee, white rum, vanilla vodka, coconut cream, and a few ice cubes. Shake it like you’re doing a beach dance.
-
Rim your glass: Dip the rim of a martini or coupe glass into honey, then roll in toasted coconut flakes.
-
Strain & pour: Strain your cocktail into the prepped glass.

Garnish & serve: Sprinkle a pinch of extra toasted coconut on top. Add a mini umbrella if you’re feeling extra.

Tips & Variations
-
No-dairy? Swap coconut cream with a thick coconut milk or almond-coconut creamer blend.
-
Booze-free version? Sub the rum and vodka with unsweetened coconut water and a splash of vanilla extract for a mocktail that still feels beachy.
-
Try it with: Crazy Cups Banana Foster Flambé for a funky, fruity twist or Caramel Vanilla for a richer, dessert-vibe remix.
