It makes me want to remake the chocolate and shiitake Pornstar Martini I made a while back, since it had coconut perfume 🤔
It could be interesting to pair the coconut liqueur with a London Dry Gin, in a similar fashion to an Army & Navy Cocktail: I love the bright, dry finish of it, despite using a combination of orgeat and amaretto (in my recipe), and I think the more delicate floral aspects of the coconut could shine through in this application.
If I wasn't really short with budget and currently doing my Erasmus thesis in rainy Netherlands I'd surely give it a try. Well, next summer I'll be either celebrating my graduation or drowning in anxiety because of its imminent coming: both good reasons to make a batch!
P.S.
One can clearly notice your engineer background not only by the approach, but also from having everything as organised and automated as possible (calculators for everything to avoid re-doing the maths every time!). And it's deeply appreciated :)
It seems that Liber & Co dont ship to europe. Do you know of a way to get their products in europe?
Hi Kevin, Have you made cardamom bitters and syrup, can you please formulate. ? that will really great. Thank you
As the proud recipient of that homemade bottle, I have to say I’m totally 🥥s for this liqueur!! So delicious; thank you my friend!
So happy that you like it! you are welcome! Enjoy!
Haha this video *not* sponsored by Malibu. 2/10 indeed. Love your honesty, Kevin, it's refreshing in a world of influencers selling their soul to just any brand that will give them invites to events or whatever.
I appreciate that!
I am excited to try this homemade liqueur, but I do want to mention two notable coconut liqueurs available on the market:
Kalani is a Mexican liqueur using fresh coconut milk that is fermented and then macerated in pure sugar cane rum. The yellow dwarf coconuts are harvested at a traditional 19th century colonial plantation in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Clement, a fine producer of rhum agricoles on the island of Martinique, also produces a fantastic Mahina coconut liqueur, created by macerating pieces of fresh young coconut in unaged rhum agricole. The combination of grassey agricole and pure cane syrup created from the same sugarcane give the rich nuttiness a lightness and complexity I've yet to find in other off-the-shelf products. Cheers!
Nice! Thank you for sharing! Kalani sounds super interesting!
@@KevinKos Kalani is great.. a bit hard to find but I'd recommend it. I first heard about it from Death & Co's Welcome Home book
The Clement is very good.
Came here to say Kalani as well! Excited to give this a shot though!
Coconut and Honey also go together amazingly well. When in Fiji I was experimenting with a few bottles I had and tried a 50/50 mix of BATI Coconut Rum Liqueur and WildTurkey American Honey Bourbon Whiskey
🥥 One thing I like to do with coconut drinks is to use coconut water ice cubes, as it melts teh coconut flavour improves. Great video!!!!
Great idea!!
As a Swede, I have to applaud you for taking the time learning how to pronounce Per Almén's name! 👏
My other half loves coconut so we're definitely going to give this a try for her. Thank you! 🌴 🥥 🌴
I hope you both are going to like it! Thanks!
Absolutely making this one! 🥥🥥
Amazing video yet again. Thanks for the tips and tricks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing Kevin!! Nice work.🥥
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic as always, Kevin. 🥥
I'm making this, subscribed. Thanks!
🥥 I'll try your coconut liqueur recipe . Thanks a lot for this great video! 🥥
amazing video Kevin! Cheers!
I think I'm going to make this one! Great episode 🥥
another killer video. Thank you. Being from a tropical country originally, I LOVE LOVE LOVE tropical flavors and am always interested in using them, making them, converting others into loving them...
awesome! Cheers!
That is some creative stuff Kevin and cocktail time crew!🥥
Glad you like it!
Looking forward to trying this recipe, thanks Kevin! 🥥🥥🌴🌴

🥥 Another great video, Kevin. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Excited to try out this recipe!
cheers!
🥥 this sounds as delicious as the coffee liqueur recipe!!
awesome! Thanks!
🥥 🍹They all look delicious! Thank you!
Great Job, love your work man🥥
Thank you so much!
A friend made a batch of this this afternoon and offered me a taste. It was fantastic!
I have to say... this is one of the best recipes you've ever posted.
I made it for my daughter in law who loves malibu... what I didn't expect was that I would love it so much!
I'm having to make my own bottle now. Well done Kevin!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
🥥 that coconut daiquiri look so lovely, i can’t wait to make this. i can store it in my malibu bottle 🍾
Cheers!
🥥 can't wait to try it out! 😋
Loved the coconut rum old fashioned.
🥥 loved it
magnificent! 🥥
Will definitely give this one a try 🥥
Hope you enjoy. Cheers!
I remember way back I commented asking about episodes of homemade liqueur, here it is. Thank you Kevin, amazing production as always.
My pleasure!
🥥🥥Very good work Kevin. Excellent presentation...as usual. I will be preparing my own coconut rum.
Enjoy!
I love what you are doing on this channel. Great work!
Thank you very much!
🥥 very good kevin! you are the best! please teach how to make homemade suze!
Another excellent vid, and the coconut ice cube is a genius garnish.
Cheers! 😬🥂🥥
cheers!
Brilliant!
The calculator is Awesome.. thanks and Cheers!
I made this last night and it was excellent. I almost made a bad mistake by over-frying the toasted coconut and then adding the rum to the hot oil. Not my smartest move. But all ended well and it’s a delicious incredibly toasted coconut flavor with an ultra smooth mouth feel. I’m going to make another batch this weekend with non-toasted coconut as well. I think a clean coconut version would be useful in different applications. Thanks as always. I love making liquors. Special thanks for mentioning how long it will last, that’s always a question when I do these things. Oh, and for having the calculator so I don’t have to do the math myself. Made 375ml and just reused the bottle.
Great idea, Kevin! Looking forward to trying this out. I also have some coconut lovers in the family and these will make pretty sweet (but not too sweet) gifts.
Replying to myself here after making and trying a few variations. It really does blow Malibu right out of the water (and I like Malibu!) I settled on some pre-toasted, sweetened coconut flakes as the best tasting to me, though it was close. I also tried with unsweetened flakes (toasted and untoasted) and the toasting is definitely worth it. Just be careful as the flakes will burn quickly. I also tried with coconut manna instead of oil. The result was very good, but the yield was very low. I lost 2/3 of the rum I put in when using the manna since it absorbed so much of it.
This one looks easy to make! 🤩 it was truly the best amongst other ones. Blind test was the best part during the shootday. 😁
When I was preparing the recipe at home I knew this will be your best one! 😄🥂
🥥 Great episode as always! Thanks for the walk through on how you did this. I've done it in the past with the coconut oil and used coconut sugar to sweeten it. I'm definitely going to try this method next time. Cheers
I hope you are going to like my recipe too. Yours sounds nice!
🥥 You’re giving me a hankering for rum! Mmmm!
Cheers!
This sounds delicious. Malibu is definitely a 2 out of 10.
🥥 very good kevin! you are the best! please teach how to make homemade italicus!
Great suggestion!
such a great idea. thanks for sharing. love the coconut ice too. cheers
Thanks for watching!
I’ll have to try making this 👀 i’m sure it would be great in many cocktails
🥥 Cheers Kevin !
cheers!
🥥 Great recipe as ever! I have a little allergy to fresh pineapple, but pineapple rum is fine, so I will be trying that Old Fashioned!
hope you'll love it! Cheers!
🥥 Coconut liqueur is one step in the right direction towards the best possible nut liqueur, pistachio!
Oh yes! Great idea!
@@KevinKos please make a video on pistachio liqueur!
I did it was really good . But with selfmade passionfruit liquor infused with pandan leaves and dark rum with half a lime and some mango puree . Also a a bit of creme de coconut was just divine . Ibwould like to see your spinn on my drink.
Very inspiring episode. What I’d really like to see is how to make really good Allspice Dram and Velvet Falernum.
thank you Kevin and team for elevating our cocktail game!
been wanting to make GN Chan's bacardi legacy 2016 winning cocktail; Venceremos! but my city's liquor store only has Malibu. So now i have something to work with! the ingredients sounds delicious so i shall take out the sous vide!! cheers
Sounds great! Enjoy making and using this liqueur. Cheers!
@@KevinKos come to Goa India, here we get coconut and cashew fenni.
🥥🌴🍹🥃🧉🥂😇🤓😃😋👍🏼💖🥥🍹🥃🥂 I love coconut. I have that Liber and Co Toasted Coconut Syrup at home. I'm almost out of it though, so I have to order more of it online. Maybe someday I will make that homemade coconut liqueur.
I love all of your videos, Kevin!
Thanks, God bless you, and cheers! ¡Salud!
awesome! Thank you!
Great Episode 🥥
thank you!
Takamaka is insanely tasty, really took me by surprise. Can't get enough of it.
🥥 Finally got round to giving this a go. Went perfectly, even with the infusion in a jar (it became clear pretty quickly why the sous vide method was ideal, but I don't have one yet). So it means I'll be trying cocktails I'd previously avoided because the only available ingredient for "coconut rum" was either Malibu or supermarket knock-off Malibu! This is now going to be a permanent part of my liquor cabinet.
I tried the mix with Coke, which I liked a lot. I also tried it with a lychee soda with the same ratios as the Cola mixer, which I found paired very well.
Thank you again for the recipe!
So happy to hear that! You are welcome!
Big up Bounty rum, from my country Saint Lucia!!!!!!!!
I've been looking for a higher-quality alternative to Malibu for a while so I'll have to give this a try! 🥥
Let me know how you like it!
Just tried this recipe and the result is wonderful, congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Used jar method and Havana 3 años Rum.
Wonderful!
🥥 Love the video, but i am interested on how you made your pocket square stand so well. Thanks in advance.
Look I found my new favourite channel!!!!
thank you!
Oh Perfect. This is on my to do list for a while 🤣👍🏻 thanks.
I’ll hope you and your family and friends are okay after the floods
Thankfully we are all safe. I appreciate your concern! Cheers!
Hi Kevin, I have just made this and WOW, amazing flavour 10/10! I made a couple of tweaks. Firstly I replaced the sugar with Pure Coconut Sugar Syrup (which has a slight gold syrup colour and so the finished liqueur is not white), cooked sous vide, I also used a vacuum filter flask to strain it. This yielded 550ml of coconut rum before dilution with the syrup and coconut water. I have also just received a Spinzall 2.0 centrifuge and made a Dave Arnold Banana Justino. I made the clarified mojito syrup previously and will now try to make it without the agar and use the centrifuge to clarify. I will post the results on your mojito video. Thanks for the work you do.
Amazing! Thank you for the feedback! Have fun with your new toy 😉🥂
Made this over the weekend without sous vide, and WOW. It's an amazing result. Had always disliked the fake flavor of Malibu, but this is giving me a reason to use it. I made a pina colada sour with acidifed pineapple juice and it's off the charts.
🤩🤩🤩
Siempre Kevin dando en la nota
🥂😊
🥥 looking forward to trying this in my Moscow mules
cheers!
Youre a real life and money safer ! thank you!❤
cheers!
I only found your channel not o long ago, and l am so glad l did🥥🍹😄
I'm so glad!
This looks amazing!
Just wondering .. could I use a block of creamed coconut instead of virgin coconut oil?
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
I live in the tropics. I make moonshine and have many times failed to make a good coconut rum… I will try this,,, thank you.
🥥
This video is amazing your recipe process is amazing also I love coconut rum but i will never buy it again
🥥 made my own impression of a coconut rum and boiling down coconut water and adding to an overproof white rum, to get 40% ABV. Then adding coconut sugar (roughly 20g/L) for some sweetness. Next time I'll adapt coconut chips and fat washing.
nice! Your version sound interesting! Cheers!
I'm here not only for the knowledge about cocktails but also to steal Kevin's outfits. 🥥
Haha, cheers!
I just did this one for my cocktail competition recipe and it tastes incredible!
Also you don't actually need a suvi device to achieve the desired effect. Pick a thermometer and heat up a cooking pot to ~55-60 (not 80, so that the alcohol doesn't vaporize) degrees Celsius. Then put it at minimal heat for 2 hours so the temperature sustains.
Voala!
on my devour list!!! 👏💂🏿♂
🥥 shame I still have a full bottle of Malibu on the shelf 😅 will definitely try this one ones it's finished! Thanks for the great vid
Hope you enjoy it!
Haven"t watched the video yet, but awesome one! I wouldn't mind a series of this or a generic "how to make any kind of Liqueur at home"
Good to know. Thank you!
I don't believe it will be 4 times better
there is only one way to try it out. 😁🥂
Classy
I've always loved coconut but found Malibu too cloying and synthetic tasting. I made this yesterday and it turned out great! Thanks so much for making this, the reward is so high for the small effort involved
Glad you liked it!!
🍍 looking forward to making it
Let me know how you like it!
This liqueur is so good, it’s coco-nuts! 😂
Delicious!
I made it with coconut shirms.
After that i took those and first fried them on leftover frozen coconut oil, and then made coconut cookies - also delicious with a little aftertaste of rum!
Tomorrow I'll grill some pineapple and make juice out of mixed fresh and grilled. Should be a perfect combo!
Thanks for this recipe.
Btw. I think you should put all ingredients in calculator (coconut water and sugar)
Both sugar and coconut water are already included. Maybe you missed it because it's listed under the text. Cheers!
Kos is the Willy Wonka of delicious cocktails 🍹
I made this recently. Really solid recipe! Couldn't find toasted coconut so I just scooped out some coconut flesh from the coconut (kinda annoying, but not bad once I got a rhythm) and toasted it over a skillet with a little bit of coconut oil just until I noticed some lite browning, I thought it worked well.
My only complaint is that I should have used a little better rum. I used 40%abv rum but I should have used something a little nicer. I also let it sous vide longer than 2 hours, like 4, not sure if it did anything or if it matters that I went longer.
Overall, very good and definitely better than Malibu rum and comparing them side by side the Malibu definitely has a fake chemical taste that you can absolutely tell. In a pinch the Malibu is fine, but if you have the time and energy this homade stuff is well worth it!
@kevinKos, do you have a home recipe for gran Marnie? That would be awesome!
I can't wait to try this at home. In the meantime, that sweet electroswing music is driving me 🥥s! Can I get a name? ;)
I never imagine coconut rum and coke. I have to try it.
Great job, Kevin but the real challenge would have been to make it WORSE than Malibu, if that’s possible. 😅
Haha great challenge! 😄🥂
My favorite is a Dominican that is sold on a coconut! Is great...
I like to use a buccaneer bobs rum base. So 1 gallon of molasses and 2 pounds of brown sugar to 25L of water and your favorite yeast. You can hypothetically imagine the rest.....
For the flavor, I'll fill a 1L masson jar 2/3 full of sweetened shredded coconut and top off with rum. Let sit for a few days and strain as suggested.
It's simple, but it works.
Edit: I'll use 60% ish rum for this. If you use the best cuts, it's smooth and not harsh at all. I'll drink it as is with no mix.
I don;t drink soda, but I'll have a glass of malibu and coke every couple of years
Looks delicious 🤤
You started with 600ml rum and ended up with 500ml rum.
Where did the last 100ml go?
Was it the flakes that sucked it all up?
To get something like "Batida de Coco Mangaroca". Would it work if I replace the coconut water with coconut cream? Thanks!
Just got myself today a bottle of Bacardi Coconut which I find rather nice and not overly sweet (I found online that it contains just 35g of sugar per litre). It is at 32% abv and that’s the only thing which I would change. 45% would be perfect for me. Do you think going with an overproof Rum would work with you recipe, too? Btw, while I enjoy all your videos I really love the ones with homemade ingredients.
Overproof rum would work here for sure! That's a great idea actually! Thank you! It looks like I will do more homemade ingredients in the future 😊
