Well friends and fellow alcohol enthusiasts, I have discovered my beverage of the summer and it even has its own theme song.
Click here if you don’t have Spotify (and then get Spotify).
The only thing more important than vodka and coconut everything in the summer is looking decent in a swimsuit, and at just 100(ish) calories per drink, this low-cal vodka cocktail (LCVC) provides ALL OF THAT. Add in refreshing lime and you have the tropics in a tumbler.
I’ve been whipping up this simple sauce since Hangout Fest with Svedka Colada (my obsession) and even taste tested it on a few discerning dudes (it passed with flying colors). But I was recently at a bar that had coconut rum instead of vodka, so I gave that a whirl and chugged loved it just the same! Rum gals, rejoice!
Here’s how to make it:
Mix 1 part coconut vodka or light rum to 2 parts soda (or half and half if you’re heavy-handed like me), then add a teaspoon (or a good squirt) of lime juice. I die for Nellie & Joe’s Key West lime juice and you can find it in most grocery stores. Add fresh lime to garnish and VOILA: Put the Lime in the Coconut COMPLETE! (You can always use fresh-squeezed lime juice if you want the bicep workout, but I just prefer bottled for this cocktail.)
Now drink ‘em both up.
LYLAS,
Ashley
