<\/a><\/div>\n\nSee I’m a bit fussy about adding water to rum, very often the flavors of a rum are so good<\/i> at bottle proof, and I don’t want to mess with it (1888 is one of those bottles).\u00a0 But, if you want to slightly chill it then you are getting into the whisky stone territory, which make me nervous since I source vintage crystal for my home bar. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\nThe 1888 team suggested that I try the 1888 poured over a coconut water ice cube, which is a genius<\/i> way to serve an aged rum, in my opinion.\u00a0 Not only does the coconut water ice chill the rum, but it slowly creates new flavors as the ice melts.\u00a0 Every sip is a little bit different, and as the proportion of rum to coconut water changes with each sip, so does your understanding of the rum. \u00a0<\/p>\n \nBest of all?\u00a0 It’s incredibly easy to do.\u00a0 Just fill up an ice maker with coconut water (one of my favorite mixers, btw), and let it freeze overnight.\u00a0 Pour 1888 over that gorgeous coconut-y ice cube, and enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n \nI love this as a party idea – just prepare bags of ice cubes ahead of time – or as a new way to enjoy rum at home.\u00a0 No garnish necessary, or add a piece of fresh coconut to make this serve extra tropical.\u00a0<\/p>\n \nGenius, I say.\u00a0 Genius. \u00a0<\/p>\n \n1888 Rum Over Coconut Water Ice<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n \n2 oz 1888 Rum<\/p>\n \n1 Coconut Water Ice Sphere<\/p>\n \nPour rum over a pre-made coconut water ice sphere.\u00a0 Stir and serve.<\/p>\n \nOptional Garnish: Fresh Coconut<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
