Rum
Coconut Rum
Planteray Cut & Dry - ABV 40%. Good enough to sip. Toasted coconut, aged rum, banana notes. Really good. Complex.
Parrot Bay 90 Coconut - ABV 45%. Like Malibu, but with the volume turned up. Strong coconut. A little sweet. Very hot ethanol. Not a refined product, but if you want something more potent than Malibu in a coctail, this is great.
Coconut Liquer
Though these claim to be coconut rums, they are low proof (usually around 20% ABV) and have a large amount of sugar added, beyond the typical “dosage” added to many rums.
Malibu > Hampton Bay > Largo Bay
Honestly, it’s not worth the savings to buy the off brands. Of course, I need to try more.
