INSPIRATION
The inspiration for the Coco Rosa came from the idea of a way to express love in a cocktail form.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Give people their flowers while they can smell them”… I wanted to create a cocktail inspired by that quote, with delicious notes of coconut, citrus, rose, and let’s not forget the star here… Equiano Light Rum! It’s velvety, smooth and says LOVE!” – Adi Batista, Equiano Brand Ambassador, Georgia.
