Coconut liqueur – this is not only the notorious Malibu, about the preparation of which our readers are already aware of. If you leave alone world brands that have set your teeth on edge, you can easily and at special material costs prepare a completely soulful version of a dessert or cocktail coconut drink in your own kitchen.
The alcohol base for it, as in most cases, can be good vodka or a 45-degree water-alcohol solution. But, if you have the necessary financial capabilities and the corresponding desire, it is best, after all, to use light rum.
