Since we will be visiting the Dominican Republic very soon, we started looking for rum drinks and cocktails from the area to try while we’re there. One that we’ve run across a few times is the Coco Loco. Although there are several versions floating around the internet, this one was identified as a Dominican Coco Loco. We’ll do a little research while down there and let you know if this is close. Even if we nailed the recipe though, I have a sneaky suspicion it may just taste even better served in a coconut on a beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic sunshine…

Ask for a chupito in the northern coast like in Las Terrenas, the restaurants will give you a chupito for free. (it’s a rum drink served in a shot glass)
Sounds great Raquel – thanks for the recommendation!
Just went to the DR in August, huge rum culture! Probably only Jamaica and Barbados can compare. Order a Santo Libre, great simple drink that locals love.
Didn’t get to try a Santo Libre, darn…guess we’ll just have to go back :) Thx for the recommendation!
Make one here: brugal anejo or extra viejo w/ lemon-lime soda n a squeeze of lime. The santo libre is my favorite highball drink. Only Jamaican rum is better than Dominican rum in my opinion.
