Coco Cha

I’ve got a serious soft spot for coconut and pink drinks. Here, two of my favorite worlds collide into one perfectly frozen cocktail.
Servings 2 Cocktail

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces white rum
  • 2 ounces Mahina Coconut liqueur
  • 2 ounces fresh-pressed lime juice
  • 2 ounces Hibiscus Honey Syrup*
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • Edible blossoms for garnish (like nasturtiums, calendula or borage)

Instructions
 

  • Combine liquid ingredients in a blender, add 2 cups ice, pulse for 10 seconds, then blend on high for 10 seconds, or until smooth. Strain into 2 chilled deep coupe or wine glasses and garnish with edible blossoms.
    *Hibiscus Honey Syrup: Steep 2 bags hibiscus tea (I prefer the Traditional Medicinals brand) in 1 cup boiling water for 10 minutes. Discard tea bags, add ½ cup honey and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature. Funnel into a clean bottle and refrigerate up to 2 weeks. (Or substitute 1 ounce strawberry jam for the homemade syrup.)
