Friday Cocktail: Snowtini

 

Snow is on our minds this week though there's none on the ground (what's up with that weather man?); we're also heading for the slopes this weekend so it put me in the mood to make something snowy. Or at least something white and this is what I made with what I had on hand:

2oz Rum with coconut liqueur (Malibu)

½ oz pineapple flavored vodka

1 ½ oz pineapple juice

Splash of half and half

Dab a little pineapple juice on the rim of the glass and dip it in shredded coconut

The splash of half and half is to add the white snowy color and doesn’t make it too sickly sweet (or add too many calories) like a creamy liqueur or coconut cream might and the flavor comes from the liquor instead– just the way we like it.

This could also be called a Snow Colada as in ‘it’s no pina colada’! It’S NO. Get it?

I’m hilarious.
