Coconut Lime Spring Cocktail
Spring has sprung! Well, kind of. It’s back and forth between 80 degrees and 50 degrees here in Texas, but I am willing Spring to come and stay. And while we have these in between days, I am enjoying my weekends sipping on this amazing Coconut Lime Spring Cocktail!
I made these with a friend recently who wasn’t sure about the coconut milk. Suffice it to say she was obsessed! Later in the night, I was making her another one and brainstorming some variations. Her response? “I loved it so much I just want it the exact same way.” Let me tell you – that is the best compliment to receive!
Coconut and Lime are a combination that will never go out of style. They can really be enjoyed year round, so I have a feeling you’ll want to save this recipe for the future! The creamy coconut milk cuts through the tartness of fresh lime juice. Paired with some simple syrup for a touch of sweetness and vodka for the punch, this Coconut Lime Spring Cocktail is the perfect light and refreshing drink to welcome in the Spring!
I like to rim my glasses with lime zest and sugar for a fun look and yummy taste. There is an ever so slight bitterness that you get from the zest that pairs really well with the sugar. And, good news if you don’t or can’t drink alcohol! I’ve included mocktail instructions in the notes below. It is still just as delicious and refreshing. It just has a bit more lime juice and coconut milk!
If you need a delicious cocktail to end a day of Spring cleaning or to enjoy with your friends outside on the patio, I hope you’ll consider making this Coconut Lime Spring Cocktail! And if you do, will you let me know what you think?
