Happy Cinco de Mayo! I love margaritas and tacos, but this year I wanted to change things up a bit and make a more unique (and less sweet) drink. I have been hearing about coconut water cocktails a lot lately, both online as well as while watching cooking shows. I'm sure the popularity is because coconut water is becoming more readily available throughout the U.S. Coconut water is the juice of an unripe coconut and is known for its high potassium content and low sugar content, making it perfect to mix with sweet rum. The more traditional cocktails are quite simple, only rum and coconut water. But when I tried it that way, I thought it needed something more. Lime is perfect in this drink because it brings all the flavors together and really takes you to the tropics. The dark rum mixed with the light coconut water and the tart lime makes a truly refreshing drink, perfect for any fiesta! I look forward to drinking this one all summer long.
