Even a couple of weeks after Carnival, the fever is still with us at Cellardoor - check out our Malibu Rum Leche Cereza – a creamy vibrant cocktail that cannot fail to bring life and colour to the party – be it after work drinks or party o’clock these beauties bring the sunshine to you! 

 Ingredients 

 Malibu Rum (20 ml) 

 Milk (Fill coconut shell) 

 1 dessert spoonful of sugar 

 Garnish and decoration 

 Cherries Banana (sliced) 

 Cocktail stick 

 Straws 

 Umbrella 

 Empty coconut shell 

 Ice cube mould 

 Food colouring

 Method 

 * Warning: remember to make your ice-cubes the night before (!) 

 * Do this by filling each cube mould with chopped coconut or coconut flakes 

 * Then in a jug, fill it up with some water and put in a tiny drop of blue food colouring and mix together 

 * Pour into each cube 

 * Put into freezer over night 

 * Put the empty coconut shell in the bucket and make sure that it fits securely; you don’t want your drink to spill! 

 * To make the cocktail, pour in the Malibu Rum, then add the milk and sugar and mix well 

 * Pop a couple of slices of banana and two cherries on to a cocktail stick and place across the top of the coconut 'cup' 

 * Get the blue coconut ice-cubes out of the freezer and add into the drink 5 of them 

 * Add some straws and umbrellas (we made our own from cut out cardboard and attached it to the straw) 

 * Let the Malibu Rumba flow and welcome in your own carnival party mode!
