Equipment

  • Equipment needed: Cocktail shaker, strainer, martini glass, small saucepan (for syrup)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • 1 oz coconut milk full-fat or light
  • 1 oz vodka
  • ½ oz lavender simple syrup store-bought or homemade – see tips
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • Ice
  • Lavender sprig or coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method:
  • Prepare the Lavender Simple Syrup (if making at home):
  • In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 tablespoon dried lavender.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat and let it stand for 15 minutes to infuse.
  • Strain the lavender flowers out, and transfer the syrup to a jar. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Shake It Up:
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine coconut rum, vodka, coconut milk, lavender syrup, and lime juice.
  • Add ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. From my experience, shaking it well helps incorporate the coconut milk with the other ingredients and brings out the best flavor.
  • Strain and Serve:
  • Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
  • Garnish with a sprig of lavender or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra tropical vibe.
  • Enjoy:
  • Sip and savor the balance of creamy coconut and fragrant lavender with the refreshing zing of lime.
