It’s Friday, and I wanted something to celebrate the end of the week. I had some toasted coconut in some tequila that seemed like it would be a nice complement to the vanilla in the rum.

Home Bartender Extraordinaire (I also bartend for real sometimes)

By day, I work as a Transition Specialist, which means I work with young adults with disabilties 18-21 in age in helping them and their families with all things transition. I also work with teachers, support staff, and others in helping our young adults reach and meet their goals. It's a fun and rewarding job - but sometimes it's nice to just come home and shake up a yummy cocktail. I did bartend in college, and more recently, I bartend at a local event venue occasionally. ...

Shake all ingredients with ice, then strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with a lime wheel or grapefruit peel and a float of the black strap rum. I also added an iris, whose colors seemed to coordinate both with the drink and the bottle.

Editor's Note

Tahitian vanilla rum meets toasted coconut tequila in this tropical sour. A black strap rum float adds a deep, molasses-rich finish to the bright citrus base.

This sounds like a fantastic way to end the week! Do you happen to have the recipe for that toasted coconut-infused tequila and the pineapple tincture so others can try making it?
