Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients including coconut milk, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, ice cubes, and lime slices for garnish to prepare the drink.
- Prepare Simple Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine equal parts sugar and water and heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool before use.
- Juice the Limes: Squeeze fresh limes to extract about 1/2 cup of lime juice, ensuring it’s freshly pressed for maximum flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour in the coconut milk, fresh lime juice, and the prepared simple syrup. Stir well to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Serve with Ice: Fill individual glasses with ice cubes and pour the coconut lime mixture over the ice.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Add lime slices on top for garnish and serve the drink immediately to enjoy its refreshing taste.
Notes
- Adjust the simple syrup quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture; light coconut milk can be used for a lighter version.
- Fresh lime juice is key to achieving the best flavor; bottled lime juice may alter the taste.
- Chill the coconut milk and lime juice beforehand for an extra cold beverage without diluting it with too much ice.
