I know what you're thinking. Joef's penchant for spice has gone too far. There's no way this could be good. But let me tell you, this kid knows how to make a mixed drink, and he gets full credit for this one. And the citrus-y heat of the habanero is a great complement to pineapple and coconut.
It's a little deceptive at first - you expect sweet, and get heat. And believe me, it's hot. But it's also unique, creative, and really good.
The first step is to infuse rum with habaneros, which takes about two days. So plan ahead!
HABANERO RUM
750mL-1L Cachaca (type of Brazilian rum)
4 habaneros, tops cut off
Drop the habaneros into the bottle of rum. Let sit for 2 days. Remove the habaneros.
PINA COLADA
For one drink: in a cocktail shaker, mix two parts rum with 3 parts pineapple juice. Add about 2 tbsp cream of coconut, or to taste. Shake with ice and pour into a small glass. Enjoy!
