Thirsty Thursday: Coconut Vanilla Bellini

Date posted: January 17, 2013 | By: Dawn

Cheers to our first Thirsty Thursday of 2013!

To kick off the year, I can’t wait to try this delicious, delicate and darling cocktail!

COCONUT VANILLA BELLINI

What you need:
- 1 bottle of prosecco
- 16 ounces of a coconut juice blend or coconut pureed nectar

For the sugared rims:
- 1/4 cup white sanding sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean

- To prepare the sugared rims, combine sanding sugar, granulated sugar, the scraped seeds of the vanilla bean and the vanilla bean pod in a large bowl and mix. You can do this a few days ahead of time if desired.
- Coat the rims of 8 champagne flutes in something sticky and sweet, such as leftover frosting or marshmallow fluff.
- To make the cocktails, pour 2 ounces of the coconut juice blend or puree into the bottom of the flute. Fill the remaining space with prosecco and stir with a long spoon to mix.
- Serve immediately!
