Lime in the Coconut Caipirinha

This Brazilian inspired “Lime in the Coconut Caipirinha” cocktail will have you dancing pool side in no time!

A Caipirinha is a traditional Brazilian cocktail that is normally made of cachaça, sugar, and lime. I added my own little twist with the coconut – because what goes better with lime that coconut?

All together now! “She put the Lime in the Coconut…”

To begin cut a fresh lime in half and then cut one half in half again.

Place a quarter of the lime in a shaker with a tablespoon of sugar.

Mash the sugar and lime quarter together with the handle of a wooden spoon.

Add in a tablespoon of coconut milk and 2 ounces of coconut rum.

Toss in 3 or 4 ice cubes, put the lid on, and shake it all up.

Pour the contents into a small glass and top with a pinch of shredded sweetened coconut and garnish with a lime slice.

Enjoy!
