Drink: Coconut & Pineapple Infused Sodabi



If you like Pina Coladas (not to mention getting caught in the rain), you'll love this latest sodabi infusion. For those who don't know, Sodabi is the local palm wine distillation that is the very embodiment of the term "fire water." Normally it is best shot and followed by a big gulp of anything else, that is when its not being used to strip the paint off a car.

But owing to its high alcohol content, it also tends to absorb flavors well. Our friend Chris has been the vanguard of sodabi infusion thus far, producing an excellent coconut drink a few nights back that was similar to a Malibu rum. It was on the back of that bottle we decided to give this a shot:


And it was good. Really did taste like a Pina Colada when drunk over ice. Now how do you suppose we say "little paper umbrella" in Beninese French?
