Coconut Amaretto Cocktail

Coconut Amaretto Cocktail

I am enjoying the warmer weather lately. When I think of summer, I think of beaches. When I think of beaches, I think of coconut cocktails. This Coconut Amaretto Cocktail is perfect for a summer day (or any day you wished it was summer). Coconut and amaretto with a citrus garnish make this drink so refreshing.

What the heck is a Minneola tangelo? Well, it is a citrus fruit that looks like an orange. It is a hybrid fruit that tastes like a tangerine. Can’t find Minneolas in your store? You can easily substitute an orange for the garnish.
