Fresh Coconut Juice


So upon poking holes in the coconut we decided he looked like a badger or some animal. The trick to opening a coconut is to find the dark spots on the end, those are the weak parts. Usually a nail and hammer is recommended, but honestly, I used a wine bottle opener and it make the job a million times easier. You can see the difference in size between the bottom drill hole from the cork screw and the nail holes that look like eyes. Stain the coconut milk a few times before drinking. And then have fun trying to crack open the shell to get the meat! I like to blend it as a mixer for a tasty drink. Garnish with pineapple and coconut chunks.

Ingredients:
  • 1 coconut
  • Ice
  • Tropical Flavored Rum/Vodka
