Tasty Iced Coconut Concoctions


UV, or "Old Reliable" as I have come to know her, makes some decent inexpensive flavored vodkas that we tend to break out on hot summer days and nights.  Their pink lemonade is a party in a bottle!  So I was intrigued when I read about UV's coconut vodka in the summer edition of Surdyk's magazine. Coconut rum is great, but too sweet for my palate.  A coconut flavored vodka seemed like the best of both worlds.

Do you have any recipes that don't involve pineapple or coffee? I really want to try the coconut flavored vodka, but I'm not a fan of the pineapple.

The first one sounds refreshing and intriguing, though I'm not a huge fan of flavored vodkas normally.

Hi Andrea - I haven't tried this yet but I think it would be great adding the coconut vodka with chocolate milk and ice cubes to your blender and making a sort-of-shake. Banana might also be a good match. This vodka needs both a sweet and a tart note to balance it, IMO. Otherwise it is a bit thin.
