Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
This is an unusual presentation for an unusual drink. Be careful--it's very strong. If, like me, you dislike gin, the recipe will also work with rum. From the Barbecue Bible. Make sure when you get the coconuts that you shake them to hear the water slosh around inside. Time listed does not include chilling time.
Hands-Free Mode Off
Equipment
Screwdriver or awl, hammer, strainer, mixing bowl, funnel, straws
Ingredients
- 4 ripe coconuts
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup gin
- 3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
Using a screwdriver (or awl) and a hammer, poke through the eyes of the coconuts, and drain out the liquid through a strainer into a mixing bowl. There should be a total of about 2 cups. Set the shells aside.
Add the evaporated milk, gin, sugar if using, cinnamon and nutmeg to the coconut water. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Refrigerate the mixture until cold, at least 2 hours, or cool mixture down with ice.
To serve, carefully pour the mixture through a funnel into the reserved coconut shells. Insert straws.
