Piña Colada-Tini

"If You Like Piña Coladas..., and Getting Caught in the Rain..." Then you will love this Piña Colada-Tini!  One of the reasons I don't indulge in piña coladas is the calorie factor that accompanies the traditional rum and coconut creme version.  But my version turns this classic vacation cocktail into a skinnier version without losing any of the tropical flavors.
Ingredients
2 oz. pineapple-flavored vodka
1/2 oz. lite coconut milk
Agave nectar to taste (approximately 1/4 - 1/8 tsp., depending on how sweet you prefer your martinis*)
Shredded coconut & additional agave nectar for the rim (optional)
Ice

  1. Prepare your martini glass by running a strip of agave nectar around the rim.
  2. Add shredded coconut to a flat plate, and roll the martini glass rim in the coconut in the same place you put your agave nectar.
  3. Combine vodka, coconut milk, desired amount agave nectar and ice in a martini shaker and shake vigorously.
  4. Strain and pour into prepared glass...Enjoy!
Please drink responsibly..!

*Tips: I've made this with and without Agave nectar added in, and it's delicious both ways. Again, it just depends on your personal preference for sweetness.
