Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder (I like to use Green & Black's organic cocoa powder because of its rich taste). In a larger bowl, combine melted butter, buttermilk, vinegar, and coconut rum. Beat with an electric mixer until batter is smooth. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar, and coconut rum in a bowl until there are no cream cheese lumps left (it helps to microwave the cream cheese a little bit first). Frost cupcakes. Sprinkle on shredded coconut.

Let sit in freezer for a couple hours and then enjoy with a big glass of milk!
