Coconut Creamsicle Cocktail

I figured that since it was Friday and all I would share my "go-to" cocktail of the moment that just happens to call for So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk. When I was a kid I LOVED creamsicle popsicles and for a while now Todd and I have been trying to recreate that flavor in a cocktail. We finally nailed it a few weeks ago when we paired OJ, coconut rum , and a splash of  coconut milk. Seriously, took me back to my childhood treat, minus the rum of course! Did I mention that it's easy? Like a lazy weekend day in the South kind of easy. This coconut rum drink even calls for the use of a true Southern staple, the Mason jar, and sticking with my Southern theme I decided to go ahead and enter my Faux Buttermilk Biscuits too!  So sit down, sip a cocktail, then head on over to Pinterest and vote for me by liking my entries, won't you?! I really do need that blender.
