I tried this because I wanted something with similar flavors to the Vacation Juice, but without needing a blender. I wanted to be able to bring it with us to a patio hangout with some friends that live across town.
Notes:
- I used Bacardi Black for the dark rum.
- I made my own cream of coconut using this recipe.
- It's really easy to mix up a bunch of it to bring to a party. Mix everything but the ice together, and keep it in the fridge. When ready to serve, pour into glasses over ice. Four servings fit into a quart sized glass jar.
Verdict: It is on the heavy side because of the fruit juices and cream of coconut, and I think the black rum makes the alcoholic nature of it quite pronounced, but it is not especially sweet, and it's fruity and tasty. I would consider making it again if I was in the mood for a tropical drink without a bunch of sugar or artificial colors.
