Coconut Macaroons are wonderful for dessert. They are even better when served cocktail style. This recipe yields a lightly sweetened, creamy smooth and frothy drink. You could even dial down the white chocolate liqueur to 1/2 ounce so more coconut flavor shines through.
I highly suggest using a creamy white chocolate liqueur such as Godiva rather than something like clear crème de cacao.
