Coconut Lady Cocktail
Issue 5 from Issue 2 - Summer 2018
The White Lady Cocktail first came into existence in London in 1919 and went through several iterations; finally settling on the Savoy’s classic pour with Gin, orange liqueur, egg white and lemon juice. Barbados modified this classic drink to create a delicious spin on the White Lady called Coconut Lady.

In Barbados, at family gatherings, a Coconut Lady is made with equal parts golden rum and sweetened condensed milk in a blender with ice and topped with nutmeg – yummy and festive. We have put a further twist on this drink after finding a Coconut Sweetened Condensed Milk available through the Gourmet Shop in Holetown. Now a Barbados White Lady is lactose free! So, give it a go!
In a large blender:
- One can of Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
- Fill the same can with dark/golden Barbados rum
- Fill with Ice and puree
- Pour into chilled glasses and top with freshly grated nutmeg.
