Coco Loco (Colombian Coconut Cocktail)

This post is also available in Spanish

I have a killer summer cocktail for you today called “Coco Loco“! Coco Loco is a Colombian Coconut Cocktail, popular on the Caribbean coast of the country. Coco Loco literally translates to “Crazy Coconut“. This drink is usually sold by vendors around the beach who make them right in front of you while you wait.

They take a fresh coconut and make a hole in the top with a machete, and then prepare the delicious and fresh Coco Loco for you. They always serve this cocktail in fresh coconuts, the presentation is beautiful and the drink is absolutely amazing!

I didn’t have fresh coconuts today so, I served it in a totuma and mason jars, but if you can find fresh coconuts use them as a serving glass and your guests will love you for it.

There are different variations of Coco Loco throughout the country and every vendor has his or her own recipe for it, but its pretty much a cocktail made with rum, tequila, vodka, lime juice, coconut cream, coconut water and ice cubes.

I hope you enjoy making this Coco Loco cocktail. It is extremely refreshing for summertime parties or just sitting on the porch reading a magazine.

About 4 servings

Ice cubes as needed

1/4 cup rum or to your taste

1/4 cup vodka or to your taste

1/4 cup tequila or to your taste

2 cups coconut cream

1 cup coconut water

Juice of 3 limes

Lime slices to serve

Directions

1. Place all the ingredients, except the ice and lime slices, in a blender, and blend for a few seconds, or until smooth.

Do you go loco AFTER you drink it?

Would love one NOW!

You know my love for coconuts and this is surely will be a favorite.

What a refreshing summer drink this is!

i’m loco for coco, so this could quickly become my go-to cocktail!

I just got back from Cartagena and so enjoyed my Coco Loco on Playa Blanca! Brings back great memories to see your post – thanks!

Couldn’t get enough of these in Islas del Rosario and playa Blanca.

I had a “coco fresa” in San Andrés on Johnny Key (basically same thing, only with a kick of strawberry) and asked the vendor how to make it– of course her lips were sealed. Here’s to hoping I can work with this recipe as a guide to get at least close to the best cocktail I’ve had in my life!

Por favor en castellano gracias mon8

I tried this drink and it was a little sour for my taste. What can be done to make it a little sweeter?

Coco Colada: The Pina Colada Served as a Mocktail

• 5 mins
• Prep: 5 mins,
• Cook: 0 mins
• Yield: 1 serving

A Coco Colada (or virgin Pina Colada) is a non-alcoholic version of the Frozen Piña Colada. This refreshing, blended mocktail is perfect for summer afternoons.

There is so much to love about the Coco Colada! It has that tropical fruit combination of pineapple and coconut and it is very easy to blend up. Best of all, it's a drink the entire family can enjoy.

Of course, you could always toss a non-alcoholic Piña Colada mix in a blender with ice if you like. However, I think that one of these made-from-scratch recipes produce a much tastier drink!

What You'll Need

• 4 ounces pineapple juice
• 2 ounces
• cream of coconut
• 1 cup
• ice
• Orange slice for garnish

How to Make It

1. Add ice, pineapple juice and cream of coconut to a blender
2. Blend until slushy.
3. Pour into a chilled hurricane glass.
4. Garnish with an orange slice.​

Shake It Up

Just like the Piña Colada , you can skip the blender and shake your Coco Colada. The coconut cream will give it that great creamy texture and the pineapple juice in the recipe above should be more than enough. Serve it over ice and, if you like, top it with a little cream soda or ginger ale.

Coco Colada Smoothie with Fresh Coconut and Pineapple

If you have the desire to make a really fresh Coco Colada, try this smoothie recipe!

You will need to find a young Thai coconut and open it using this tutorial. The surprise inside is fresh coconut water and the sweet, white flesh and both of these elements can be used to create a fresh drink for two.

Note: If you do not have a fresh coconut, substitute about 2 ounces of coconut cream and add more if needed.

Tips for Blending Your Colada

The beauty of using the blender to create drinks and smoothies is that you can make adjustments as you go. If you have blended it and it's not quite the consistency you were hoping, here's how to get it perfect.

• The Mix is Too Thin: If your colada is too thin and watery, you need to add more solids. This could be chunks of fruit or ice.
• The Mix is Too Thick: For drinks that are too thick in the blender, add a small amount of liquid. Choose between your pineapple juice, coconut cream or water.
• To Create a Creamier Colada: You may want less of a slushy and more of a creamy smoothie. In this case, ice cream, milk (plain or coconut) or more cream of coconut should do the trick.

Ways to Enhance Your Coco Colada

The tropical taste of the Coco Colada is a fantastic base for taking the drink as far as your imagination can take you.

Here are a few ideas to get you started.

• Add more fruit to the blender. Banana, mango and strawberry are among the best options for the coconut-pineapple mix.
• Make it a Toasted Coco Colada. Add about 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup to the blender and garnish with toasted coconut.
• Add chocolate ice cream or syrup. Coconut, pineapple and chocolate, it's a tough combination to resist! Add a scoop of chocolate ice cream to the blender and skip the ice. Or, keep the ice and squirt some chocolate syrup into the blender.

“The Coco Chanel” Our Most Popular Cocktail

Our Most Pinned Cocktail! A classy and simple martini with just 2 ingredients! The Coco Chanel Martini is beautifully feminine yet so easy!

Last weekend was my sister’s BIG birthday celebration, the first I’ve ever known her to want to shout from the rooftops and celebrate till dawn (which is my normal M.O. when it comes to birthdays, I love them!). Try as I might, I could not get a flight to Miami to join in and hated not being there for her… especially when she rubbed it in that they were out till 5 am dancing! Dying! Today’s “Cocktail Friday” is a toast to my sweet sis Alison. It’s a martini called “The Coco Chanel” that we both fell in love with on a trip to New Orleans at an off-beaten (meaning out of the quarter) little bistro, Marigny Brasserie . It’s completely lovely and classic and so simple to make using only 2 ingredients and a shaker full of ice.

Happy Birthday Alison! I love you so!

I love you so much big sis!!

And I love you both!!

I had this martini at the restaurant last weeks and LOVED it! I tried to make it at home and the vodka was far too strong. I bought Smirnoff coconut vodka. I will try Ciroc. BTW – the bartender and the wait staff were amazing! I will go back.

I’m going to have a Coco Chanel martini Girls night in two weeks. I plan on serving baked brie with apricot topping, some salamis and cheese and maybe some tiny beef bruschetta. What did you serve to eat with yours?

Maggie, That sounds amazing! Can I come? I love or our fig & walnut crostini with the Coco Chanel too. Have fun!
