I’m feeling tropical this morning and wanted to share a coconut creamsicle cocktail recipe that captures those beachy vibes.
This drink has quickly become a studio favorite. It’s easy to see why: coconut ice cream blended with a splash of alcohol is irresistible. The cocktail is finished with an abundance of tropical garnishes—think toasted coconut, an orchid, dragonfruit, even a decorative starfish—so it looks as festive as it tastes.
The full recipe and a short video are available on the new Darby mobile app. Darby (formerly Darby Smart) is built for makers and DIY enthusiasts, offering hundreds of step-by-step projects and how-to videos from creators you know and love, including Refinery29, Homemade Modern, Wool and the Gang, Sarah Hearts, and more.
