Print Recipe

The Toasted Coconut Lemonade Cocktail is a refreshing, creamy summer drink that combines tropical coconut flavor with punchy lemonade. It’s perfect for parties or relaxing on a hot day, and can be made with or without alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 fresh lemons (about 1 cup lemon juice)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup vodka or white rum (optional)
  • Ice
  • Club soda (optional, for topping)
  • Lemon wheels (for garnish)
  • Mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for flavor balance)

Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut flakes in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from pan and let cool.
  2. Juice the lemons to yield about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain if desired.
  3. Make simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat until sugar dissolves, then let cool.
  4. In a cocktail shaker or large jar, combine lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and coconut cream. Shake or stir until creamy and well blended.
  5. Add vodka or rum (if using) and shake again.
  6. Fill glasses with ice. Optionally, wet the rim and dip in toasted coconut flakes before adding ice.
  7. Strain the cocktail into glasses. Top with club soda if desired.
  8. Garnish with lemon wheels, a sprinkle of toasted coconut, and mint sprigs.

Notes

For a mocktail, omit the alcohol and add extra club soda. Toast coconut flakes carefully—they burn quickly. Prep lemon juice and simple syrup ahead for parties. Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors. Keep glasses in the freezer before serving for extra chill.
