The weather is heating up, back to school is on, and what I’d really like to do is extend my summer. Since I haven’t figured out how to make a time machine, I guess I will have to settle for a delicious, indulgent-tasting cocktail that transports me to far away places in my mind…
Coconut Breeze
Ingredients
4 ounces coconut water (found at most grocery stores)
2 ounces gin
2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons of honey (or simple syrup)
Lime wedges
Crushed ice
Directions:
Combine the coconut water, gin, lime juice, and honey in a glass or cocktail shaker. Stir or shake until the honey is dissolved. Pour over 2 glasses with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge, serve immediately, then close your eyes and pretend you are on your favorite beach. Enjoy!
