The story behind Christmas Island Rum Cooler
Coconut water and pineapple give this Kiritimati-inspired cooler its equatorial Pacific character. Lime keeps the dark rum brisk and refreshing, intended for the calm hour around island sunset.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
