I have no clue what has gotten into me lately but I have started to make colorful cocktails every time I end up hosting a house party. Probably it has something to do with how monotonous our lives have been since the pandemic and this pop of colors is a vivid reminder to snap out of that zone and spread your wings.

Tips & Recommendations :
- A coconut flavored rum can be substituted for the white rum.
- Since we are already adding the cream of coconut, I stick with the white rum to avoid an overdose of coconut.
- Cream of coconut and coconut cream are two completely different ingredients. Please use a tin of cream of coconut. Do not substitute it with anything else or the drink will fall flat. I used Coco López brand (Available in Walmart and Total Wine).
- The tin tends to seperate the water and cream of coconut. So make sure to scoop out all the contents from the tin and blend it finely using a blender for a smooth creamy texture.
