Coconut rum drinks are delicious any time of the year. During cooler months, spicy, warm and buttery cocktails hit the spot, but for spring and summer we usually want something a bit more refreshing. Here are four of our favorite coconut rum concoctions that will be a hit at all of your spring and summer get-togethers.
