Koloa Sparkling Coconut Hawaiian Rum Cocktail
Koloa Sparkling Coconut Hawaiian Rum Cocktail is the tropical pairing that was always meant to be: Koloa's Kauai White Rum — distilled on Kauai from Hawaiian cane sugar and Mt. Waialeale rainwater — blended with all-natural coconut and carbonated into a light, bubbly ready-to-drink cocktail. At 4.5% ABV in a 4-pack of 12oz cans, it pours creamy coconut over the rum's clean, smooth base with a bright, effervescent lift. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Coconut and Rum, the Original Pairing
If any two flavors were destined for a can together, it's coconut and rum — and Koloa's take keeps it light rather than syrupy. Like the rest of the Sparkling Hawaiian Rum line launched in June 2022, this one starts with Kauai White Rum (pure cane sugar, Mt. Waialeale rainwater) and adds all-natural Hawaiian coconut before carbonation. All four line flavors scored above 90 at the 2022 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, with Mango taking a Chairman's Trophy — the coconut holds its own in that company.

Tasting Notes
Line consensus applied to the coconut expression: creamy natural coconut aromas over the clean Kauai White Rum base; light, bubbly texture with the rum's smooth character underneath; a bright, refreshing finish. Tropical without heaviness — the carbonation keeps the coconut lifted.
How to Enjoy
Well chilled, straight from the can or poured over ice. The coconut profile makes it a natural poolside pour; a lime wedge cuts the richness if you want contrast.
