2 oz. melted coconut oil
pour oil into rum / stir / let sit for 8 hours or longer / I occasionally stir to ensure rum mames even contact / fine strain out oil / store in sealed bottle

ABOUT
This is an original of mine that I am super happy with. It is a daiquiri of sorts, where I use a fat washed rum, giving the it a smooth mouthfeel as well as coconut flavor. The agricole, even though only a half ounce, adds a layer of grassy notes. The name is a play on my hometown. Cheers y’all!
