History

The Coco Loso is a tropical cocktail that was popularized by the rapper Fabolous in his song 'Coco Loso Wasted'. It's a simple, yet refreshing blend of coconut vodka and pineapple juice. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy sweet, fruity flavors and is often enjoyed on hot summer days or at beach parties.

How Coco Loso Tastes?

The Coco Loso offers a sweet, tropical taste with a hint of coconut. The pineapple juice adds a tangy freshness that balances the sweetness of the coconut vodka. It's a light, refreshing cocktail with a smooth, creamy finish.

Interesting facts about Coco Loso

  • The Coco Loso was popularized by a song.
  • It's a tropical cocktail that's perfect for summer.
  • The cocktail is named after the coconut vodka used in it.

Ingredients

Ciroc Coconut

The Ciroc Coconut offers the smoothness of Ciroc vodka with a rich, creamy coconut flavor that's key for that tropical taste. We use 1.5 oz because it's a balanced amount that doesn't overwhelm the mixer. If you skimp on the vodka, the drink might taste too weak, but overdo it and you risk overpowering the sweet subtleties. No coconut? No problem! You could substitute with regular vodka and a splash of coconut essence, expect a less creamy taste though.

Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice brings that sweet, tart punch which complements the coconut perfectly—a match made in beach heaven! Again, 1.5 oz equals out the vodka, so the two dance together without stepping on each other's toes. Use less, and the drink loses its zesty kick; use more, and it's like a pineapple party where the coconut wasn’t invited. Substitutes? Sure, maybe mango juice for a different tropical twist, but it's a different party.
