Snorting Coconut Snow

It’s true, I want to snort Coconut Snow.  We bought it at the jumbo liquor store thinking it might make a nice piña colada.  It didn’t really, but we’re thinking that might have been the fault of the pineapple juice.  Regardless, it just doesn’t matter, the stuff SMELLS awesome.  Tonight, before bed, I wanted to snort a bit of the can.  In truth, I just sniffed it, made Leigh-Ann sniff it, and then we toddled off upstairs to blog or read or go to bed or something.  The smell of Coconut Snow almost transports me back to Hawaii on vacation.  Hanging out at the Royal Hawaiian bar (even though we couldn’t afford to stay there), eating coconut shrimp and drinking mai tais or something.  I don’t care if the stuff ever makes good drinks, I’m keeping it around for aroma therapy.  It’s heavenly.  This is the only picture of it I could find online.  It has an annoying flash brightness in the middle of the can, but I’ll replace the picture with my own when I bring the camera downstairs.  But, you, my internet lovelies deserve to at least see one picture while I’m raving about the stuff.  Now remember, I don’t guarantee good drinks from it (I’m sure they’re possible though), only the delightful scent for less than $3.  Mmmm.

(Updated the pictures 8/21)

And the delightful smelling inside of the can.

1. Dang that my monitor is not scratch and sniff! 

   I am *drooooling* over your memories of coconut shrimp and am so happy that you posted about this.  You see, I also have a coconutty situation and require your help! 

   We have a bottle of coconut rum and I am not sure what to do with it.  All that I am certain of is that Coco-Coke does not taste very good at all!  Any suggestions?  LOL

2. The coconut shrimp at The Royal Hawaiian were so good that I think we went there three days in a row.

   I hit the motherlode of coconut rum recipes for you - http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/641/ Some of the names are amusing/gross; Bong Water, Guilty O.J., Bust Your Black Nut, Alien Urine Sample, Scooby Snack #4, etc.  Let me know what you try and if it’s good.

3. Thanks Flippy!  I am going to bookmark that site for future drinking shopping sprees! 

   I think that a Flying Purple Squirrel might be fun!  LOL I will let you know the results.

5. We still haven’t made anything else with the coconut snow, but I sniff it every day.  Leigh-Ann says it smells like the best macaroon ever made.

6. I found a decent coconut rum combo last night.  Diet Mountain Dew Code Red and Malibu.  It was not half bad!  Now it just needs a fancy name.  Too bad all of the good ones like “Bust Your Black Nut” and “Alien Urine Sample” are already taken.  LOL

7. How about Coconut Volcano (mountain and red = volcano?)?  Or, maybe Bloody Nut or something, you know, so you can have at least one gross name for it.
