This is an unusual presentation for an unusual drink. Be careful--it's very strong. If, like me, you dislike gin, the recipe will also work with rum. From the Barbecue Bible. Make sure when you get the coconuts that you shake them to hear the water slosh around inside. Time listed does not include chilling time.
