 Chocolate coconut rum
Dark chocolate and coconut are an amazing combination. You can bring those flavors to your cocktails with this simple infusion.

You can use this as the base for a Manhattan-style drink made with sweet vermouth and orange bitters, or along with some vodka in a martini-style drink.
Enjoy!

2 parts coconut rum, like Malibu
1 part cacao nibs

Pour the nibs into a sealable glass jar. Cover with the rum and shake. Let steep for one day. Strain into another container and store as you would any other liquor.
