How to Make Bahamian Sky Juice

  1. Using a hammer and screwdriver, carefully pierce the eyes of two coconuts to drain the water.
  2. Strain the coconut water through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. You should have approximately 2 cups.
  3. Set the coconut shells aside; they will be used as serving vessels.
  4. Add 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup gin (or rum), 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg to the coconut water.
  5. Stir well to thoroughly combine all ingredients and dissolve the sugar completely.
  6. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Alternatively, chill quickly by adding ice and stirring until cold.
  7. To serve, carefully pour the chilled Sky Juice through a funnel into the reserved coconut shells.
  8. Insert straws and garnish with a lime wedge or a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional). Enjoy responsibly!
