Tommy Bahama Coconut Cloud Martini Ingredients

To make this co*cktail, you’ll need:

• Don Q. Cristal
• Stoli Vanil
• Cruzan Coconut
• Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
• Toasted shredded coconut

Ingredient Notes

As a budget-friendly white rum, it is tough to beat Don Q. Cristal, especially for anyone who prefers a more mild flavor. After going through multiple distillations, it is aged for up to five years in white oak barrels resulting in a light and smooth spirit that is more similar to vodka than other rums. You can definitely get away with using a vodka like Reyka or Smirnoff in this recipe, but why would you when Don Q. Cristal is so inexpensive?

Stoli Vanil provides the vanilla backbone to this drink. As a mid-priced brand, Stoli’s range of vodkas is absolutely worth stocking up on, especially if you prefer flavored vodkas over traditional ones. The vanilla variety is smooth with a hint of sweetness and a light spicy finish. 360 Madagascar Vanilla Vodka would be an excellent alternative.

On the tiny tropical paradise of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, Cruzan infuses its world-famous rum with the natural flavors of fresh coconuts to create Cruzan Coconut. Cruzan Coconut is the perfect ingredient for any beach-inspired co*cktail with its sweet and creamy taste that is never heavy on the tongue. Sugar Island Coconut Rum is a fine substitute, or if you have a bottle of Malibu hanging around, you can use that.

Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut is non-alcoholic and adds intense coconut flavor, creaminess, and sweetness to the recipe. You don’t have to choose the Coco Lopez brand; any cream of coconut will work well.Goya Cream of Coconutis readily available in most supermarkets.
