Rum, Rum, Rum!

Today is a great day for a rum drink. The one I'm going to suggest is actually very simple but *very* refreshing, especially on a day like today--pleasant, not too hot, not humid. It's a rum and coconut water. Golden Barbados rum we sell, and coconut water you can get, obviously, by cracking a coconut and draining the water--or simply punching a hole in it--or you can get coconut water from the Spanish groceries in town.

When you see old pictures of people drinking with a straw in a coconut, in a club in Havana or South America, rum and coconut water is what they were drinking. Classic tropical drink.

2 ounces golden rum
2 to 4 ounces coconut water

Instructions

Combine the golden rum and coconut water in a Collins glass, then add 2 to 3 ice cubes, stir, and serve.
