Cruzan Coconut

its a typical mix drink rum nothing to fancy good for vodoo juice

Nothing to be proud of. They simply copied a wrong competitor. Even Andy M., who knows little about rums, doesn't like it.

Cruzan is not a very flavorful line of rums overall and this particular vintage does nothing to dispel that opinion. There are better choices of flavored rums

I have been drinking Parrot Bay for a long time and decided to give the Cruzan Coconut Rum a try. I'm glad I did. They are close but at the same time very different. You get a nice coconut flavor without being slammed with sugar. I like the sweeter varieties better for straight sipping. This is great when you want a hint of coconut without as much sugar as the others. I get the taste of alcohol fairly strong, even when mixed. At the same time it is also smoother than Parrot Bay. This rum has a short finish. I find i prefer this chilled where i prefer the Parrot Bay room temperature with ice. Cruzan Coconut is my favorite coconut rum for cocktails with chocolate in them. Hey, it just works better. Pleasant surprise here.

Buy a 1.75 and use for tikis. Decent, not great, flavor and good when you are using in fruit juice.

I like this rum for daiquiris and pina coladas. Pretty much the same as most better flavored rums.

Flavored rums are well, flavored rums. Not for the purist, but every rum has a purpose. If you need a flavored rum or want something different, can't beat the Cruzan line. Because of the reduced alcohol content of flavored rums, I always supplement it with a little Aged Light or Aged Gold for some kick.

Always a welcome addition to most of my mixers, just use moderation, the flavor is strong.

Love this mixed with pineapple juice - simple but effective!
