Skip going out and give happy hour at home an upgrade. This Gluten Free Triple Coconut Key Lime Martini will give you all of the vacation vibes in the comfort of your own house.
I don't know about you, but I love happy hour at home. Especially when the weather is nice, and you can take it to your backyard. This martini will have you dreaming of sea breezes, salty air, and swaying palms.
Shaken, Not Stirred
My husband might be the official mixologist in the house, but I can whip up a mean martini with the best of them. This Gluten Free Triple Coconut Key Lime Martini is one of my favorites.
I actually got the inspiration for this cocktail from my mother-in-law. I took her version tweaked it, played with it, and transformed it into this dangerously smooth and sippable concoction. Be warned, it can disappear fast!
I admittedly tend to go heavy handed when it comes to cocktails, however found the perfect balance in this beachy libation. The combination of coconut vodka, cream of coconut, and coconut cream combined with the tangy sweetness of pineapple juicy and bright pop of key lime juice will almost have you smelling suntan lotion in the air.
I could really call this quadruple coconut because the coconut rimmed glass takes this cocktail over the top. For this recipe I am using RIND Coconut Crisps. RIND creates healthy snacks utilizing the entire fruit including the skin. They're packed with more nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants while being zero waste because they use the entire fruit. They're not only for you, they're good for the planet too. I can toast to that!
