What You Need
*Recipe makes approximately 4-6 small cocktails.
1/2 cup vodka/coconut vodka
3 bottles of Bai Coconut or Core Water Coconut
Sugar or Sugar Alternative (for white sugar rim)
Coconut Oil (for white sugar rim)
Blender (If you are looking for a new blender, we highly suggest the Nutri Ninja Pro. It is budget-friendly and can pretty much do anything you need it to.)
Step by Step
1. Rim your glasses in coconut oil and then sugar to create your “white” sugar rim.
2. Fill two ice cube trays with Bai Coconut or CoreWater Coconut Drink (one bottle usually will fill an entire tray). Add 1 drop of red food coloring to each cube in one tray and 1 drop of blue to each cube in the 2nd tray. Stir each cube with a toothpick to fully mix.
3. Let the ice cubes freeze for at least a couple of hours or overnight in the freezer.
4. Place the blue frozen cubes in a blender, add 2 shots of vodka and a 1/4 cup of your coconut drink.
5. Blend until ice is no longer chunky, but be sure not to over blend. Only a couple of seconds are needed, or use the pulse option until the mixture is smooth.
6. Divide the blue mixture between 4-6 glasses (depending their size).
7. Rinse out your blender and repeat for the red cubes. Add the red mixture on top of the blue mixture.
Viola! A delicious and skinny holiday cocktail!
