Key Lime Colada Cocktail Recipe

What is a Key Lime Colada Cocktail? The Key Lime Colada cocktail is a refreshing tropical drink that nestles right in between a pina colada and a margarita. It combines the creaminess of a pina colada with the tangy zest of key lime for the perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz of coconut rum
• 1 oz of Key lime juice
• 2 oz of cream of coconut
• 1 oz of pineapple juice
• 1 cup of crushed ice
• Key lime wheel, for garnish
• Pineapple wedge, for garnish

Preparation

• How do you make a Key Lime Colada Cocktail? Start by adding the coconut rum, Key lime juice, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and crushed ice into a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a chilled glass. Garnish with a key lime wheel and a pineapple wedge right before serving.

Serving

• How to Serve? This flavorful Key Lime Colada is best served immediately after blending, right alongside your favorite summertime meals. It can also be an amazing standalone drink to enjoy on a warm, sunny day.

Tips

• For a fun twist, garnish with toasted coconut or a maraschino cherry.
• If Key limes are not easily available, regular limes can do the trick. Remember, the lime flavor will be a bit more tart and less sweet.
