- 2 oz. vodka I used snow leopard
- 1 oz. key lime juice freshly squeezed
- ¾ oz. Cream of Coconut I used Coco Real
- ¼ oz. simple syrup
- 1 key lime slice optional
Combine the vodka, key lime juice, cream of coconut and simple syrup in a shaker tin.
Add ice and shake for 45 seconds. Double strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lime slice if desired.
Notes:
- Vodka - a nice, smooth vodka works beautifully in this cocktail! As a huge fan of Snow Leopard vodka, I highly recommend it! If you don't have Snow Leopard, any good quality vodka works.
- Key lime juice: Fresh juice is key in this cocktail! You can juice the limes several hours before making the cocktail.
- Cream of Coconut: Not to be confused with the "cream" at the top of canned coconut milk, this is a sweetened version that designed for drinks and desserts. The most common brand is Coco Lopez. I used Coco Real (which is shelf stable, woo hoo!)
