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.
