Happy Cocktail Friday, everyone! Put those gorgeous summer berries to use with this tropical Strawberry Coconut Rum Cooler. It tastes kind of like a strawberry daiquiri on the rocks! There’s plenty of coconut flavor thanks to a combination of coconut rum, cream of coconut, and even a bit of coconut water. It leans toward the sweet side but remains balanced (I don’t like overly sweet drinks), though you can easily adjust the sweetness level by adding more or using less cream of coconut.

This drink is super easy to make at home, as long as you have a quality muddler and shaker on hand. I like this muddler – it makes quick work of squeezing the juices out of those gorgeously ripe strawberry chunks. And for shakers, you can’t beat this leak proof, no stick, higher capacity shaker by Viski for your home bar.

Ingredients and Substitutions

To make this cocktail, you’ll need these ingredients:

  • Coconut rum and light rum – I like the combination of the two rums so that the coconut rum doesn’t get overpowering. You could use dark rum along with the coconut rum, but I preferred the light rum when I was testing this recipe.
  • Coconut water – I recommend Harmless Harvest if you can find it. It has a slight pink tint to it and I think a better flavor than most coconut water.
  • Cream of coconut – Here’s where you’ll get some sweetness and a big punch of coconut flavor. I used the Coco Real brand, which is the squeeze bottle version. You could also use Coco Lopez or Goya brands which come in a can, though it’s less convenient for cocktail making.
  • Lime – A touch of lime really helps balance out the whole drink and keeps it from tasting too sweet.
  • Strawberries – Muddle these up well so you get the maximum amount of juice (and flavor!) out of the strawberries. You’ll get the most juice out of the berries when they’re in season.
  • Crushed ice – You don’t have to serve this over crushed ice, but I like how frosty it makes the cup. Plus you get a good bit of dilution so the drink stretches farther.

Here are some items I used to make this recipe a success. Like I mentioned above, if you want to shake up more than 2 servings at a time, I can’t recommend this shaker enough! It’s bigger than the average home bar shaker, but it’s easy to handle, doesn’t leak, and doesn’t stick. I honestly love mine.
