Coconut for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor & Pairing Tips

Fresh coconut brings a milky, tropical sweetness with gentle nutty notes that soften and round strong spirits. It is ideal for creamy liqueurs, but can also be used for clear infusions when combined with high-proof alcohol and careful filtration to manage natural fats. Coconut pairs exceptionally well with vanilla, cacao, coffee, cardamom, and citrus peel, especially in rum or vodka-based liqueurs.
