“That’s the one that comes in a coconut,” says Eddie Jurado, bartender for Miss B’s Coconut Club, about their Caribe Welcome cocktail. “Very good for the Instagram. Plus Coconut Club, drinks in coconuts it goes hand in hand.”
The recipe was inspired by what is considered the original piña colada, made famous in 1954 when Ramón “Monchito” Marrero created a new cocktail to welcome guests to the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. “Originally it was hand-shaken and non-alcoholic. Eventually he started adding local rum to it.”
Miss B’s version is made with Puerto Rican white rum, apricot brandy, fresh lime juice, and of course coconut. “It’s a pretty balanced drink, refreshing… with coconut water, so you kind of feel like you’re being healthy but also partying. That’s kind of the vibe.”
