Escape to Paradise with the Illusion Cocktail
Close your eyes and imagine turquoise waters, swaying palms, and a breeze that carries the scent of sage and citrus. The Illusion Cocktail is your ticket to a mental vacation—no passport required. Inspired by the Virgin Islands’ vibrant energy, this drink blends creamy coconut, zesty orange, and a daring hint of heat. Plus, we’ll settle the coconut milk vs. coconut water debate once and for all!
Coconut Milk vs. Coconut Water: What’s the Difference?
-
Coconut Water: The clear, natural juice inside a coconut—light and hydrating.
-
Coconut Milk: Made by soaking grated coconut meat in hot water, then straining it for a rich, creamy texture.
(Pro Tip: Coconut milk adds luxurious silkiness to cocktails!)
