Lime and coconut martini

This whimsy cocktail is the perfect way to welcome Spring. The sweet & sour flavors of lime & coconut will have you in the mood for warmer weather instantly!  

Even when indulging, it's important to me to use as many natural ingredients as possible. I turned to my trusty La Croix sparkling water, Stirrings simple syrup, & fresh lime juice. 

Beets are one of my favorite foods to use when I need to add a pink tint to any food or drink. It only takes a tiny amount of cooked beet to add the color which makes the flavor virtually undetectable. 

I snagged some violets growing wild in the backyard for this photo shoot. Adding seasonal elements into photos is not only charming, but tells a story. By sprinkling these tiny violots on my tile backdrop, I am inviting the viewer to recognize that this cocktail was created in the Spring! 

I hope you enjoy this light, refreshing cocktail as much as we did!
