Here’s your new favorite “Freezer Door” cocktail.
Just wanted a quick second to feature my dude Joey Goetz of lastsaintchs. He’s doing us a favor by showing us how to make a batch of SIX bottles of liquid gold - aka a chocolate + coconut-fat washed Negroni. My god, this was so good.
“Coconut and Chocolate visit a classic Negroni in an updated take on everyone’s favorite gin cocktail.
We build our standard house negroni, add Cacao Nibs and Coconut Oil to fat wash and infuse the entire cocktail. Freeze it and then strain everything off. It give you a classic negroni backbone but with wonderful notes of coconut and chocolate to compliment.”
Cheers y’all!

Today we’re resting a Negroni in a coconut… but not just any Negroni, this is a split-base rum Negroni using a Barbados rum ( + Jamaican rum ) to give us a funky but rounded flavor. If you’ve never had either of those rums, you’ll really want to get your hands on a bottle or sample to try. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever had and really puts this recipe together by bringing those tropical notes of coconut, banana and pineapple INSIDE a coconut 🤯
Stay tuned for Part II coming in a few days!
This might be the most meta thing I’ve ever done…
🥥 Remember when we aged that rum Negroni in a coconut? Well, I hope y’all didn’t throw away that coconut meat soaked with the Negroni because it’s packed with flavor. So now that we’ve aged a Negroni in that coconut, we’re going to age the coconut in a Bianco Negroni - stay tuned for part 2!
Oh, y’all thought I was done with that Negroni-aged coconut? 🥥
Well in an effort to reduce waste and get every single bit of flavor out of that rum-Negroni aged coconut, I decided to make a syrup out of it. It’s definitely more coconut forward but still has hints of that Jamaican rum and Campari - but the question is… what should I make out of it?? Drop your suggestions below and I’ll make it this week!
Cheers y’all.
Just a couple more views of the Boho Rosa House in during my last shoot that inspired this cocktail 🙌🏾
Read MoreI wanted to follow the basic Boulevardier recipe, but create a tropical flair. The coconut-infused aperitif takes the bitter component and just rounds it out with a little sweetness and richness. The [Pimm's] replaces sweet vermouth, by pulling away some of those herbal notes, and replacing them with dried fruit flavors.
