Tiki Refresher
2 oz (¼ cup) golden rum
2 oz (¼ cup) coconut water
Fill a tall collins glass with ice. Combine the rum and coconut water in a small pitcher, and pour the mixture over the ice.
TIP: If you have a fresh coconut lying around, use the water from that instead, and break the coconut into little pieces to serve on the side. Fresh coconuts can also make great serving vessels; just make sure to adjust the proportion of rum to coconut water so that the cocktail contains equal amounts of both.
