The internet’s new favourite coffee drink, The Dalgona, can now be enjoyed with a delicious rum twist, thanks to the team at Aluna Coconut.
Originating from South Korea, The Dalgona has become a viral sensation during self-isolation. It has been dubbed an ‘upside down cappuccino’ and can easily be made at home with instant coffee, sugar and hot water in lieu of your morning takeaway coffee.
Coffee and rum have always been a match made in flavour heaven and Aluna Coconut’s unique take on the creamy coffee is the perfect brunch accompaniment or after-dinner tipple. As well as ‘spiking’ the coffee with a shot of their coconut rum, Aluna’s recipe also calls for coconut milk which not only enhances the flavour of the rum, but also results in a delicious vegan serve.
Available to purchase online from Waitrose and Ocado, Aluna Coconut is a sublime blend of rums from Guatemala and the Caribbean with natural toasted coconut. When combined with coffee and coconut milk, the resulting flavour is a dangerously moreish bitter sweet drink, with the coffee and coconut flavours coming through beautifully with a warming rum kick.
The Daluna Recipe
Ingredients
25ml of Aluna Coconut Rum
2 tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp very hot water
400ml chilled Coconut Milk (we recommend Vita Coco)
1 tbsp maple syrup
Method
- Add the coffee, sugar and hot water to a medium mixing bowl. Whip the coffee using an electric whisk until it is light brown, fluffy and a stiff peak forms.
- Pour the rum and coconut milk into a glass and briskly stir in a spoonful of maple syrup. Spoon dollops of the frothed coffee mixture on top.
