The Rum Vincent cocktail wins for best drink during my surprise Punta Cana birthday getaway! (I turned 40, so….I had a few of these….). There’s something about coconut that I can’t get enough of…which is why I especially love this drink. So delicious and addicting… but again, 2 of these and I am crawling slowly up the stairs trying to remember which bedroom is mine 😂 Looking to unwind, unravel, and untangle the day?? Or just celebrate good company and great conversation? This delicious drink does not disappoint!
Ingredients for a Rum Vincent
Here’s what you need: (makes 2 cocktails)
- 1/3 cup Coconut Milk (get it in the Thai food aisle)
- Limes (2)
- 3 shots Lillet Blanc
- 5 shots Dark Rum
- Splash of Grapefruit Juice
- Splash of half-n-half
- 1 shot Symple Syrup
- Ice
- Martini Shaker
Start with your coconut milk… it’s thick and creamy so I like to layer everything else on top of it
Pour in your shots of Lillet Blanc and Dark Rum. If you’ve never had Lillet Blanc before, it is a delightful wine-based liqueur that is so refreshing! It certainly adds a unique flavor to your drink…I’m currently researching what else I can make with it!
Squeeze your limes and pour it in, along with a splash of grapefruit juice (note: if you are up for making your own grapefruit simple syrup, it truly has the best flavor) and 1 shot of simple syrup
Add a splash of half-n-half and your ice, shake, and pour!
I think this drink would be super delicious by substituting pineapple for the grapefruit…in fact, that was Nate’s request the last time I made it. I might even try mango or muddled strawberry!! Regardless, this drink will ALWAYS remind me of the most wonderful couple of days in Punta Cana, having dinner on the beach, and sipping cocktails.
Comment below if you tried this recipe! Did it make you feel like you were magically whisked away to some tropical island? I hope so 🙂
