Breaking Dawn Coffee Cocktail ｜ Mornings Just Got Better
The Breaking Dawn Coffee Cocktail, one of our original creations, is one of those perfect winter morning treats. It’s also a great way to start off a night of merrymaking as well.
very own original cocktail, and this is a drink that doesn’t disappoint. It most certainly lives up to its name, tasting like a candy bar; specifically its almost a dead ringer for a Mounds or Almond Joy, albeit in liquid form.
It also such an easy cocktail to make, with the only hitch being the foresight of having made the whipped coconut cream. As far as I’m aware, there are no commercially available options of whipped coconut cream. Fortunately, whipped coconut cream is easy to make. Check out our easy to follow directions here:
Getting everything else in order should be fairly straight forward.
Coconut Rum
Getting any cocktail to taste right requires the right quality of liquor. If you buy the cheap liquors, you’re going to get a pale imitation of this cocktail. In order to avoid the most typical pitfalls:
Malibu is NOT coconut rum. Malibu is a coconut liquor with rum. It is NOT, I repeat… NOT a coconut rum. The alcohol percentage clocks in at 21%, which is far below what a rum should be. It is super sweet, so it will throw the entire taste of the drink.
I used Koko Kanu, which is a very solid rum coming out of Hawaii. If you’re in Japan, it’s easily bought on Amazon. In the US, it should be fairly easy to find at most liquor stores that stock halfway decent selection of rums.
That said, any quality coconut rum will do.
