Cocotini

The infusion of spices into this coconut drink make for a festive, fragrant holiday cocktail. Cinnamon sticks, star anise and whole cloves are steeped in boiling water to infuse it with the heavenly smells and flavors of these incredible spices. Add rum and coconut flavors and you have a winner. Garnish with raspberries and nutmeg to make it complete. Warning: these go down very easily and you forget there's rum in them!

Her grandparents are all from Portugal and the traditions and food of this country have had a big influence on her and inspired her to learn about other cultures and their food.

    I have only been a part of the Viera clan for 2 years, but the family Christmas party wouldn't be complete without Lynne's cocotini. (Feb 12, 2009 12:40:42 PM)

    Ok - I usually don't care much for coconut but the blend of ingredients in this drink makes it so delicious and it looks pretty too. I definitely will try making this! (Dec 17, 2008 9:45:22 AM)
