Sometimes a cocktail just speaks for itself. In the case of the Coconut Mint Chip, you're getting exactly what you'd expect.
What do you expect though?
Do you expect Coconut Mint & Chip? What is coconut mint? Is it a small sprawling herb low to the ground that lags under the weight of its hardened over-sized drupes? Or is it a tall tropical tree with fern-like leaf outcroppings that can be climbed to obtain the small leaves of solid fresh air?
Perhaps on the other hand, you interpreted this name as Coconut, & Mint Chip. If that's the case, is a mint chip more like a one of those mini chocolate morsels, but green or is it like wood chips that just emit the aura of mint?
Anyways, thinky time over, let's get boozy with it!
Coconut Mint Chip is Ole Smoky's recommendation for how to use their mint chocolate chip cream whiskey. Quite simply, just put some cream of coconut in there.
The mouthfeel is creamy, almost like you're sipping melted mint chocolate ice cream. It's not very coconuty at first, but as you continue there's this air of coconut that lingers as an aftertaste. Almost like that melted mint chocolate ice cream had coconut cream added to it... Hmm I suppose that does makes sense now doesn't it?
It's a very easy way to use this bottle of Ole Smoky.
Let me know how you'd use this bottle! There's plenty of it left for a bit of mixological experimentation!
