Coconut Lime Cooler

Creamy without being heavy, and dairy-free. A piña colada's lighter, less sweet cousin.

Highball
Difficulty
Easy

Ingredients

  • 3 oz coconut water
  • 1 oz coconut milk
  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • Lime wheel and toasted coconut, to garnish

Method

  1. 1Add everything to a shaker with ice.
  2. 2Shake hard for 12 seconds to emulsify the coconut milk.
  3. 3Strain over fresh ice in a highball glass.
  4. 4Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.

Notes

  • Coconut water and coconut milk together give you flavour and body without the heaviness of cream of coconut.
  • Toasting the coconut garnish in a dry pan for a minute changes the whole drink's aroma.
  • Shake hard or the coconut milk separates in the glass.

Make one of these next

  • Virgin Piña Colada

    Pineapple, coconut and ice, blended properly so it comes out creamy instead of watery.

  • Horchata

    Rice, cinnamon and milk, blended and strained. Sweet, cooling, and the best thing to drink with spicy food.

  • Mango Chilli Cooler

    Sweet, hot and salty at once. The most interesting thing you can make from a frozen bag of mango.
