Serving Size

Equipment

A shaker is essential for mixing everything smoothly.
I also use a jigger for accurate measurements.
A good strainer helps keep any pulp or ice out of the glass.

And, of course, I rely on a long spoon for stirring. Don’t forget a tall glass to show off your drink!

Ingredients

For this delicious cocktail, I gather all the ingredients before starting. Here’s what I need:

1 ½ oz gin
1 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
2 oz coconut water
Soda water
Ice cubes
Lime wheel and coconut flakes for garnish optional

I make sure everything is fresh, especially the lime juice. 🍋

Instructions

First, I combine the gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and coconut water in a shaker. I fill the shaker with ice and shake well. Then, I strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice cubes.

I top it off with soda water for that delightful fizz.
A gentle stir with my long spoon does the trick.
Finally, a lime wheel and a sprinkle of coconut flakes make it picture-perfect!

Notes

I find that fresh lime juice gives the best flavor. If I want a sweeter drink, I add a touch more simple syrup. It’s important to use good quality gin for a smooth taste. Also, I sometimes try flavored soda water for a fun twist. Feel free to share your own versions in the comments below! 🚀
