Servings: 1 cocktail
Equipment
Ingredients
Mocktail
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk canned unsweetened
- 1 oz. non-alcoholic tequila or regular tequila for cocktail
- 2 tsp coconut syrup sugar-free
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Lime wedges, for the rim and garnish
- Cranberries & Rosemary twigs for garnish
- Crushed Ice
- Olipop lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
- Coarse salt or sugar, for the rim (optional)
Instructions
- Add a scoop of crushed ice and all of the other ingredients except for the garnish and Olipop to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
- Add fresh crushed ice to a 12 oz. glass (rim it first with a lime wedge and coarse salt or sugar, if you like) and pour the shaken drink over the ice. Leave a little room at the top and add a splash of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water of choice.
- Garnish with cranberries, fresh rosemary, and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you are not dairy-free, feel free to substitute heavy cream for the coconut milk.
- Instead of canned coconut milk, you can use coconut cream and add some water.
- If you don’t have coconut syrup, substitute simple syrup or agave syrup.
- For the cocktail version, use blanco tequila. Gold tequila also works, if that’s what you have on hand. If desired, you could add a splash of coconut rum as well.
