To make the colada, pour 4 ounces ( ½ cup) colada syrup and the rum into a blender with about 1½ cups ice. Purée until colada is thick but can still be poured, a minute or more. Pour into an appropriate vessel, such as a ceramic coconut shell, and sprinkle surface with a dash or two of bitters. Serve with a straw snipped to rise 2 to 3 inches above lip of vessel.

Fun to make over the forth of July. Make the syrup ahead of time to make for easy assembly day of. Always add a little rum floater on the top! Recommend!
This has been a go-to cocktail for us since this recipe was published. Such a great combination of flavors. To make the syrup, then the cocktail is a bit of work, so not an everyday drink, but it’s worth it. Enjoying one now!
