Welcome to a taste of paradise in a glass! Our Coconut Rum Cold Brew Cooler is a delightful fusion of smooth cold brew coffee and tropical flavors, inspired by beachside vacations and lazy summer afternoons. This refreshing cocktail combines the rich, bold taste of cold-steeped coffee with the sweet, creamy notes of coconut and the warmth of quality rum.
We use a medium-dark roast coffee, coarsely ground and steeped for 12-18 hours to create a smooth, less acidic base. The addition of coconut rum and cream adds a luscious texture and tropical flair, while a touch of simple syrup balances the flavors perfectly. Served over ice and garnished with toasted coconut flakes, this cooler is not just a drink – it's a mini vacation in every sip!
